Experience

As an undergraduate at the University of Florida, I studied Political Science and International Studies with a focus on Latin America. Additionally, I completed a Latin American Studies Minor which helped develop my interest in learning Brazilian Portuguese. Continuing my studies at UF was an easy decision as a lifelong Florida resident who is also passionate about the culture and politics of our diverse state. Currently working as a Worker Power Research Assistant for Florida Policy Institute, I am interested in supporting workers’ grassroots efforts and hopefully through research be able to expand workers’ rights and empower women and minority workers. I intend to expand my local interests and adapt their solutions to Latin America and the Caribbean with the education and resources provided by the MALAS program.
