About

I love problem-solving. It's so wonderfully creative
and expressively powerful (and fun).

My journey is unique - from leadership roles in high-stakes political campaigns to captivating over a million TikTok followers with my civic engagement initiatives at 14. It’s not just about being in the limelight; it’s about creating ripples of change in the digital and real world.

In my quest, I founded the Institute for Youth in Policy, an Institute where young minds converge to shape the future of policy. Here, I've melded my love for technology with my commitment to civic dialogue, overseeing teams that brought to life a 700-page curriculum and a website with over 8 million views.

Alongside my extensive work with the Institute, I have chaired the largest youth-run NGO in the nation, consulted a number of the top VCs and political campaigns in the nation, and built institutional partnerships with prestigious organizations such as the College Board, Cambridge, Harvard Kennedy School, and Stanford University.

When I'm not doing overly-ambitious (and possibly silly) things in the realms of policy and tech, I'm indulging in my other passions: music, nature, and photography. Each of these pursuits is a window into my world - a world where creativity, strategy, and action coalesce.

(Fun fact: I can clap with one hand.)

(Double fun fact: I grew up in Germany, and lived in a small town of 9,000 for the first nine years of my life.)
