In recent years, I have brought my journalism and communication skills to the nonprofit sector, working for organizations like New American Economy, the American Immigration Council, and Upwardly Global to highlight the contributions of immigrants in the United States and foster bipartisan support for immigration reform. I have interviewed CEOs, Dreamers, refugees, farmers, and politicians to craft compelling op-eds, profiles, and reports that combine data analysis with empathetic storytelling. I have helped publish more than 100 op-eds in both local and national publications, and I have developed relationships with opinion editors across the country.
