A Master of Public Affairs graduate working at the intersection of policy, communication, and problem-solving — turning complex public issues into clear, actionable insight.
About
I am a public policy researcher with a strong foundation in policy analysis, communications, and cross-sector collaboration. My experience spans independent research, international organizations, and strategic communications — and my work consistently sits where evidence meets the people it's meant to serve.
As a Student Policy Fellow at the Alliance for Citizen Engagement (ACE), I developed and published policy briefs on housing and transportation, analyzing complex public issues and translating them into clear, accessible writing for broad audiences. At the Office of the Vice President for Research at UT Austin, I support cross-functional initiatives requiring coordination, data organization, and stakeholder engagement.
My research interests center on education policy, disability inclusion, accessible transportation, and poverty alleviation — areas where thoughtful policy can meaningfully expand opportunity. I bring an international perspective shaped by work across Thailand, the United States, and partnerships in between.
