At Alston Wilkes Society, I served as a Housing Navigator and SSVF Landlord Liaison, advocating for veterans and vulnerable populations while coordinating housing placements, landlord partnerships, and wraparound services. This experience strengthened my understanding of how policy decisions translate into real-world outcomes.Previously, I worked with Midlands Orphan Relief as a Volunteer Coordinator and Distribution Center Supervisor, where I led program operations, managed volunteers, and supported large-scale resource distribution for children and families in crisis—building a strong foundation in program management and operational oversight.I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science with a concentration in Public Administration at South Carolina State University.
