About Marissa Mavrich

Policy should work for the people it is meant to serve, and I am committed to making that happen. My work is grounded in a dedication to fighting inequity and ensuring that public systems operate effectively, responsibly, and with real impact.In my current role, I analyze and develop policy to drive operations and deliver for public housing residents. My experience includes a strong foundation in government affairs and community engagement, skills developed through my work with the New York State Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives.With a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre Arts, I bring a unique perspective to my work, combining creativity and innovation with dynamic problem-solving and a commitment to public service. As a former service worker, I carry firsthand insight into the importance of efficient, equitable systems and the real-world consequences when they fall short. With the stakes as high as they are, I aim to contribute to teams that value collaboration, equity, and accountability in order to build public systems that are not only functional, but worthy of public trust.
