I graduated from Miami University of Ohio in December 2021 with a combined Bachelor and Master of Arts in Political Science. I have experience working in the legislative process through an internship on Capitol Hill and at a lobbying firm, in University Residence Life as a professional staff member of a residence hall, and as a Personnel Security Administrator for a government subcontractor managing personnel clearances. I am looking for a job that will allow me to hone my customer service and attention-to-detail skills, and ideally would like to find a job that matches my experience in administration and/or policy.
