About Lily Nelson
I recently earned my M.A. in Political Science from Columbia University, after completing a B.A. in Political Communication at George Washington University. Across both degrees, I worked full-time, gaining over four years of hands-on experience across think tanks, nonprofits, and political campaigns.Professionally, I’ve held research roles at the Brookings Institution and the American Enterprise Institute. There, I helped translate polling data, public opinion research, and policy analysis into actionable content—informing op-eds, donor messaging, and media strategy. I’ve worked on campaigns in California, supported live midterm election coverage, and managed messaging across both grassroots and national levels. Whether I’m writing copy, briefing a team, or analyzing ROAS, I’m focused on delivering clarity, speed, and measurable impact.
