• Congressman David Cicilline's district office is allowing me to gain valuable experience in constituent service, casework, and data analytics
• Through my work on various constituent cases, I am able to refine my skills in listening, problem-solving, and communication
• Additionally, I am gaining hands-on experience with the IQ platform, which helps me to effectively manage and analyze constituent data
• This experience taught me the importance of attention to detail and the value of utilizing data to inform decision-making.

At the end of the summer, I assumed the role of Rhode Island State Lead for the Kennedy Campaign, where I led the Students for Kennedy Initiative. This role involved mobilizing and connecting motivated students across the state who were passionate about supporting RFK Jr. in the 2024 presidential race. I was responsible for organizing weekly meetings and coordinating real-world campaign events to amplify RFK Jr.’s message and engage the community.

One of my primary tasks was to oversee the petitioning process to ensure that Kennedy secured a spot on the November ballot in Rhode Island. While my tenure concluded with the suspension of RFK Jr.’s campaign, this experience provided me with substantial leadership and organizational skills, as well as a deep understanding of grassroots campaigning.

• During the Spring and Summer of 2023, I worked closely with Don Carlson to help execute his campaign for the RI CD01 Special election
• This allowed me to work alongside great intelligent people, and learn the ins and outs of running a campaign
• My workload consisted of Field Organization and canvasing.

• In early May, a friend told me about his plans to open up a restaurant
• I said why not, ill help out
• Since then I have been apart of a team that opened up the new restaurant Scotti's Salumeria in East Greenwich
• Committing countless hours and being able to witness first hand what it takes, and how to operate a business, has taught me invaluable lessons in life that I've been able to learn at an early age
• Also, I learned how to be a really good cook

• During my Sophomore year of college, I served as a Banquet Server at the OceanCliff Hotel in Newport, Rhode Island.

• In the spring I am the Assistant Coach, and Head JV Coach in the Smithfield Highschool baseball program
• This role allows me to give back to the community that gave to me, and to teach young men the game of baseball, and the game of life as they reach adulthood
• This allows me to still be involved in the game, baseball, that I love and has been a part of me for so long.
