Introduction

I completed my Masters in Public Administration degree with specializations in Health Policy and Financial Management. During my tenure as a graduate student, I was selected as a Legislative Fellow to serve with the Delaware General Assembly. This experience exposed me to the inner workings of state government, which has served me well in my current position. I am currently working as the Legislative Assistant to two State Senators within the Democratic Caucus. This position has allowed me to use the skills and knowledge I gained while obtaining my MPA to forward effective public policy.
