ABOUT ME:
I am a rising junior double majoring in International Politics and Economics at Ithaca College. I am passionate about the intersection of politics, economics, and society. During my time at Ithaca College, I've participated in activities relating to each of these passions. Through SGC and Model UN, I've gained experience in policy-making. Through my time in Amnesty International, I learned about the intersections of human rights with economics, democracy, and policy. I was fortunate in my freshman year to intern with Congressman Frank Pallone of New Jersey's 6th district, where I saw one practical application of the public policy skills I was learning in the classroom. After my time at IC is over in 2020, I hope to pursue a Master's degree in Economics and work in in the realm of developmental economics.
