Thankful for the first investments in my journey. If you are able, I’m fundraising for Campaign School before year’s end and will share the full journey in 2026 through videos and posts. Connect with me if you're interested in education, policy, STEM, politics, and law.

I look forward to a successful yr of learning and contributing alongside Staci.
