•Hi I’m Mikayla and I’m a student on a gap year from Stanford University. In terms of academics, I am a Public Policy student with a concentration in Public Health, and I’m also a writer at The Stanford Daily specializing in election coverage.
•From a professional standpoint, I am an international award winning activist and organizer working in Pennsylvania. I work and volunteer with organizations like the Working Families Party, the ACLU, and Planned Parenthood. My main focus in these roles has been community outreach and content creation in a multi-media capacity.
•My current roles are at the New York State Senate as a Public Policy Intern and at She's the First as an Advocacy Intern.
