About Me
Hi there! I'm a flight attendant for American Airlines. I've been with American since February 2023, and have flown over half a million miles around the globe in that time, serving up safety, service, and smiles at 35,000 feet. I serve on a special assignment team part time, assisting the Inflight Technology team in testing new products before they go live to other flight attendants.
I'm particularly passionate about student advocacy., and I'm pleased to put my talents to work for the students by serving as a Program Assistant for U-M's Central Student Government (CSG), providing services (like campus-wide The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times subscription) and helping document past practices and teach future leaders.
I recently finished a PhD in political science at the University of Michigan, concentrating on international political economy—in particular, public opinion and national security issues in international trade. For my dissertation, I conducted two survey experiments to determine Americans' level of concern about issues relating to dependence on international trade, and what Americans see as ideal solutions to the issue, as well as explored the US government's current responses to the issue. I earned a master's degree in political science at Michigan in April 2021.
During my time at Michigan, I got as involved as I could, serving the Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer of Rackham Student Government (RSG), managing the finances for the primary body of advocacy and engagement for the PhD and academic masters' students at the University of Michigan, as well as various roles within the Central Student Government, including as Student Organization Committee Director, where I managed a student organization funding budget of approximately $800,000 per year and a team of 50, overseeing the funding process and making sure everything was in compliance with legal requirements and internal controls.
I'm also passionate about teaching others, and have managed course content online for student organization leaders as well as taught at the collegiate level.
I spent my undergraduate career at University of California, Riverside in Riverside, California. I graduated cum laude with my bachelor's degree in political science, with a minor in statistics, in June 2018.
