Share a little about your journey and why you are excited about early childhood policy work.
My journey into public policy began during my time at the University of Washington Bothell, where I studied Law, Economy, and Public Policy. I recently graduated this June, and my passion for shaping impactful legislation has only grown since. During my past internship, I had the opportunity to see the policy-making process up close, and now, as a policy fellow, I’m excited to build on that experience. Early childhood policy is especially important to me because of its far-reaching impact on future generations, and I’m eager to continue working in public policy to help create positive, lasting change.

I’m eager to dive into the details, collaborate with experts, and learn the ins and outs of policy-making. It’s a unique chance to understand how the process works from the inside, and I can’t wait to be part of it, using what I learn to help create a positive, lasting impact!
