Summary
I am a motivated political science student at Southwestern University, with hands-on experience in campaign strategy, leadership, and digital media. I completed an intensive 9-day training at the Leadership Institute’s Campaign Leadership College, gaining skills in voter targeting, fundraising, and message development. In addition, my coursework at Southwestern University has provided me with a strong academic foundation in politics. My extracurricular activities include practical experience as a freelance videographer, a sales associate, and an active leader of the Kappa Alpha fraternity. I am extremely passionate about pursuing a career in lobbying, serving as a Capitol Hill staffer, and becoming a policy expert.
