Biography

I am interested in how political ideas play out in past and present. As an MPhil student in the interdisciplinary program in Political Thought and Intellectual History, I hope to explore the contexts in which particular political philosophies unfolded as well as the ways in which those philosophies influenced history by empowering people to act. As an intern on Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign and in the White House Office of Presidential Correspondence, I saw firsthand how framing ideas in new ways can lead to a more informed and engaged citizenry. I ultimately hope to use these academic and policy experiences to serve as a communicator between policymakers and citizens, using the power of narrative and my background as both a historian and creative writer to close the gap between individuals and their government.
