I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York and have lived in the DMV-area for the past few years since moving to DC for my undergraduate degree at George Washington University. There, I studied International Affairs with a Concentration in Conflict and Conflict Resolution. After graduation, I began working in the environmental nonprofit industry where I learned a great deal about fundraising and the process of generating successful state and federal policy. As the Co-Director of a door-to-door fundraising Canvas, I managed the employees of the office as well as many of the office's communications. Since then, I have worked in private education administering primarily sensory-cognitive instruction to students of all ages at a Learning Center in the area as well as, privately, at clients' homes.
