Interests How politics can positively impact peoples’ lives. (It is possible!) We’re constantly exposed to how politicians gridlock, name-call, and make astounding expenditures on their campaigns. Some politicians, even those with a negative reputation, make a concerted effort to create positive change in people’s lives though.

Recent Recognition (Given!) Presenting Bill Clinton with the WONK OF THE YEAR award from KPU. Working with his advance team gave me the idea for future job possibilities. When Clinton talks to you, it’s like you’re the only person in the room, just like people say. I respect his advocacy work—the way he talks to and learns from everyone he meets. He uses his knowledge to make a positive impact.
