About

About

I am a recent graduate of Syracuse University with a Bachelors of Art in Political Science and Biology. While these two majors may seem like an unusual pair, they perfectly combine my love of logic and method with my interest in the world and its unpredictable nature.

Currently I am based in the suburbs of Chicago and am looking for a job in International Affairs, public policy, and consulting. I have a strong interest in helping people, writing, and research, and would like to combine these interests if possible. I'm looking to grow professionally and gain more experience. I would be willing to move anywhere in or out of the country.

Please feel free to explore this site, designed and implemented by me, and learn more about my experience. Find a PDF of my resume here.
