Chicago,United States

Summary

As someone who is passionate about politics and dedicated to public service, I have been fortunate enough to work on some amazing campaigns and projects. From Mayor Lightfoot's reelection campaign to my current employment for the United States Senate at Senator Durbin's Chicago office, I have learned a lot about teamwork, problem-solving, and the importance of staying focused on the bigger picture. My proudest achievement, is the nonprofit I started to promote active citizenship and civic engagement among Chicago's youth. I am constantly humbled by the amazing work that my colleagues and peers are doing, and I look forward to continuing to learn and grow as I pursue my goals.
