Hi there!
I'm a young public policy professional committed to making governance more democratic and building bridges across borders — particularly as cities and communities confront the global climate crisis. My policy interests lie in participatory democracy, municipal governance, climate policy and transatlantic relations. I am especially committed to the Franco-American alliance.
I currently serve as resource manager at People Powered: Global Hub for Participatory Democracy, where I manage the development of action-oriented resources for government and civil society. I've previously worked at the Consulate General of France in Boston, the Harvard Kennedy School's Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, Brown's Office of International Programs and the World Affairs Council of Charlotte. I also spent the 2017-18 school year as an English teaching assistant in greater Paris.
I received my master's in public policy from the Harvard Kennedy School, where I concentrated in International and Global Affairs and completed coursework in climate and energy policy, economics and statistics. While at HKS, I collaborated with the City of Helsinki (Finland) for my master's thesis, completed a summer internship with the City and Eurométropole of Strasbourg (France) and served as a course assistant for Professor Kathryn Sikkink's Global Governance class.
I have extensive experience in journalism and literature. I served as print managing editor of the Kennedy School Review and as a writer and editor for the Brown Daily Herald, Brown Political Review and Intercollegiate Finance Journal. I am an avid student of French literature, having written my undergraduate honors thesis in French on the transformation of 18th-century Paris and founded a French literary review.
I received my A.B. magna cum laude in Economics and French from Brown University and studied abroad at the London School of Economics and Sorbonne Université in Paris. I was selected as a finalist of the Presidential Management Fellows program (U.S. Office of Personnel Management) in 2020. I am a member of Phi Beta Kappa, a National Merit Scholar, and the recipient of the Ruth Electa Collins and Irving Lysander Foster Prizes in French at Brown, as well as summer internship grants from the Harvard Kennedy School and Brown. An active member of my community, I serve on the steering committee of a climate justice participatory budgeting process in my city council district in Brooklyn.
