Skills
I am talented in many areas. I am a passionate writer and reader, as well as editor. Most importantly,
I love politics. I have an understanding of the factors and philosophies impacting policies of today
and the past. Languages are something with which I am proficient, understanding intermediate
Spanish and basic Latin. Being extroverted is a talent of mine and I believe my communication skills
are excellent and professional. A wide variety of skills and talents help me accomplish whatever job
needs to be done.

Experience

Northwestern Monthly, Northwestern Middle School - Editor-In-Chief

I was Editor-In-Chief of my middle school newspaper for the first two years of its existence. At the
Northwestern Monthly, I helped develop and maintain a website. I led a team of about 15 students
who I directed to publish a multi-page newspaper on a monthly basis. Writing an editorial every
month, I advocated for greater inclusion in schools and tried boosting morale.

Georgia High School Democrats - Candidate for Chair

From March to April, I was a candidate for Chair of the Georgia High School Democrats. Starting off
in a candidate field of three, I was one of the remaining two candidates after an opponent dropped
out and endorsed me. I campaigned on plans and ideas rather than vague ideologies. While I
ultimately lost, I learnt invaluable lessons regarding politics, leadership, and the inner workings of
 2

Democratic politics. At the Young Democrats of Georgia Convention, I proposed a resolution and
platform amendment, both of which passed with overwhelming support.

My passions for writing and politics combined in this perfect opportunity, writing for a large and
international audience.
