Government Relations Professional @ Alliance for American Leadership

About

I'm an international relations student at NYU with a focus on foreign policy in the Middle East, refugee work, and the role of global institutions in shaping the global order. I’m particularly interested in how diplomacy and development intersect with questions of displacement, sovereignty, and structural inequality. I look forward to connecting with others working to rethink and reshape the systems that define international engagement.

I serve as a government relations professional with the Alliance for American Leadership (A4AL), where I lobby Congressional offices for sustained U.S. investment in foreign aid and global development. I help shape messaging that ties foreign assistance to national security, economic interests, and global stability, promoting programs that fight poverty, prevent pandemics, and support local leadership. Beyond policy advocacy, I assist A4AL’s executive team with daily operations and played a key role in organizing our first launch party, which raised over $30,000. I also support grassroots mobilization efforts to expand the foreign policy conversation and drive voter engagement in key districts, advancing a vision of U.S. foreign aid as smart, strategic leadership.
