\"314<\/p>\n

Through my internship at 314 Action, I have gained crucial experience in donor prospecting, candidate endorsement, navigating NGP, and utilizing the FEC donor database. The projects that I frequently work on include: updating donor profiles in our NGP database, identifying state and local candidates to endorse, tracking the legislative history of our candidates who are in office, and identifying potential donors. These projects are extremely fulfilling, especially because I get to see my work being prioritized and meaningful. When I update a contact on NGP, the next day that information will be utilized to reach out to a potential donor during call time, who may help fund a candidate that 314 Action endorses.<\/p>\n

314 Action is a non-governmental organization that is both a nonprofit and a political PAC, acting at the federal, state, and local levels to further accomplish their mission of electing democratic scientists and STEM professionals to public office. Their ultimate goal is to ensure that policy concerning science is based on facts and data. I chose to intern at 314 Action because their mission aligns very well with my career aspirations and I believed that I could build upon both my political science and data science interests. This proved to be true very quickly, as I have had the opportunity to learn how to plan fundraising events as well as experiment with projects using R to collect data.<\/p>\n

I look forward to applying my new knowledge and experiences regarding campaign funding as well as data collection and interpretation to future positions in government.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The Relationship between Marijuana Laws and Risk Perception<\/strong><\/p>\n

For one of my classes, Introduction to Political Research (GOVT-310), I conducted a study on the effects of marijuana laws in certain states on their citizens’ risk perception of the drug. In my research paper,<\/a> I discuss some of the literature that informed my research hypothesis and which data and variables are used in the study, as well as the statistical tests, results, and conclusions. This work sample demonstrates my research capabilities, statistical analysis skills, and ability to apply existing literature to my own study. I have been cultivating these skills throughout my high school and college careers in writing many annotated bibliographies, literature reviews, and research projects.<\/p>\n

SPA Leadership Project<\/strong><\/p>\n

My time at American University has exponentially grown my abilities in research and analysis, especially through the SPA Leadership Program. In conducting a research project with a team of my peers during my first year, I was able to ease into the process and take part in each step. During my second year, I conducted another research and social action project<\/a>\u00a0about marijuana education on my own as part of SPA Leadership. The research question for this project was: What are the short and long-term effects of marijuana on the body and the mind? Additionally, how effective are school drug prevention programs? My research concluded that marijuana can cause physical and cognitive decline in the short and long term, and that drug prevention programs are most effective when they focus on specific drugs and target students who may use drugs as a coping mechanism. Based on this research, I implemented an updated drug education curriculum in June 2021 at the high school I attended.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The convergence of these two projects on similar topics yet very different executions has allowed me to narrow my policy interests as a Political Science major and hone my research skills to work well within my chosen area of study.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Throughout the Spring of 2021, I worked on my social action project about drug education programs. I was able to get in touch with the supervisors of the Bottlecappers program at my old high school and begin coordinating how I would update their curriculum based on my research and hold trials to measure its success. This process has shown me the importance of connections and creating lasting good impressions on people in order to facilitate any future work together. I am also excited to have first hand experience in implementing a program that I have written and recording the results. Having completed this project, I will be thoroughly prepared to propose ideas clearly, create an effective deliverable, and test it for future use and expansion.<\/p>\n

My experience within the SPA Leadership Program has been very beneficial to me in many ways. Firstly, I have been able to develop my leadership skills and come to understand my own leadership style, which I can utilize in many different spaces when organizing teams and projects. Secondly, this program has given me an amazing community that focuses not only on leadership and assignments, but personal growth and caring for one another. Over the last two weeks of the Spring 2021 class, we all shared our social action projects with one another and everybody was extremely supportive and happy for the success of others. This program is such an interconnected and multi-faceted community and I am eager to continue working with everybody as we move through the university and into the workforce with each other. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

During my second semester at American University, my statistics professor had noted that I was excelling in her class and recommended me to the Academic Support and Access Center’s SI Program. Due to her recommendation, I applied and became an SI Leader. Each semester, I am assigned to a basic statistics course for which I hold review sessions for two hours per week. I also attend the class, provide practice problems, and observe my fellow SI Leader’s sessions. This position has sparked my interest in pursuing statistics and data science in the future.<\/p>\n

_______<\/p>\n

As part of the SPA Lincoln Scholars Program, I took a core class called The Problem of Freedom with Professor Thomas Merrill, who is running the program. After my first year at AU, Professor Merrill selected me to be a Program Leader (PL) through the AU Complex Problems Program for the same class during Fall 2020. As a PL, I attend class and observe how the students are engaging with the material, have individual meetings with each student, and hold co-curricular events outside of class for social as well as academic purposes. This position helped me strengthen my knowledge of political theory and realize that going back to texts I have read before is always beneficial in that I can consider them in a new light. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

\"\"<\/p>\n

I am a graduate student at American University pursuing an MS in Data Science. Through the AU SPA Combined Master’s Program, I completed my undergraduate degree in Political Science in May 2022, and will finish my graduate degree in May 2023.<\/p>\n

My work experience includes interning for Senator Booker during the Spring 2022 semester, interning for 314 Action during the Fall 2021 semester, assisting an AU professor with research over the summer of 2021, and assisting statistics classes as a Supplemental Instruction Leader through AU’s Academic Support and Access Center from Spring 2020 through Spring 2021.<\/p>\n

As a part of the School of Public Affairs Leadership Program, I have completed two research projects, one on the environmental effects of chemicals and one on the effects of marijuana on the adolescent mind and body and subsequently, the most effective methods of in-school drug prevention programs. I have created a website<\/a> alongside a team of five other students that provides resources for sustainable cooking and cleaning, emphasizing the importance of sustainability during the COVID-19 pandemic. I have also implemented a social action project based on my marijuana research in the form of an updated drug prevention curriculum at my old high school.<\/p>\n

As a member of the Lincoln Scholars Program, I have been reading and analyzing the works of the greatest political theorists, classic and modern, and engaging in philosophical discussion with my peers. I am also in the American University Chamber Choir, practicing social action through music in the performance of works like Craig Hella Johnson’s Considering Matthew Shepard.<\/em><\/p>\n
