About
An early-career path shaped by study, fieldwork, and service.
I am early in my career. Right now, my focus is learning from experienced people, doing useful work well, and building the judgment that public service requires.
At Arizona State University, I am studying Political Science while building toward work in legislative affairs, public policy, campaigns, government relations, research, and law.
Outside the classroom, campaign fieldwork makes those subjects practical. It has shown me how much public-facing work depends on clear communication, careful tracking, respect for people, and the ability to adapt when plans change.

How I work
What I try to bring to the work now
Close the loop
I track assignments, communicate early, and stay organized when routes, priorities, or deadlines change.
Respect the role
I protect private information, treat people professionally, and stay within the responsibility I have actually been given.
Experience
Current campaign experience
Since June 2026, I have supported voter-facing and logistical fieldwork through Roosevelt Strategy Group across Maricopa County.

Where I hope this work leads
I want to keep learning from people working in Arizona legislative affairs, public policy, campaigns, government relations, public affairs, research, and law. My immediate goal is to contribute useful work and earn greater responsibility through preparation and follow-through.
My highest long-term ambition is to earn the trust of Arizona voters and serve as Governor of Arizona. That is a long-term ambition, not a current campaign. The work in front of me is to study, listen, contribute, and improve one step at a time.
