A policy & community advocate, and creative with a professional background in government and community engagement. I utilize my policy and community skills to design new political and governing frameworks for a more inclusive global creative economy. I earned my Bachelor of Arts (BA) focused in Global and Comparative Governance from American University along with two fellowships: Public Policy International Affairs (PPIA) from Princeton University and NYC Urban Fellows. With a demonstrated history of working in public service, I worked within the U.S. Attorney’s Office, U.S. House of Representatives, NYC Mayor’s Community Affairs Unit Office, and the Domestic Policy Council’s Office of Urban Affairs, Justice, and Opportunity at the Obama White House. I lived abroad and traveled to 19 countries in Europe to study the European Union economics, governance, security defense, and culture, which taught me what is possible for the African Diaspora. After I worked at the Brooklyn Museum as the Head of Government and Community relations, and serving as a Board Member and teacher for Movement: Black Youth Abroad, I understand that art & culture are critical components for Black people’s soft power and liberation.
