ABOUT THEA ZELLMER

As a passionate advocate for child welfare and international progress, I am dedicated to driving impactful change through effective public policy. With a career aspiration rooted in esteemed public policy organizations, influential think tanks, and legislative bodies such as the U.S. House of Representatives, I aim to address critical issues and implement meaningful reform.I have had the privilege of serving as a legislative intern for the Office of State Representative Ann Bollin, where I focused on constituent relations. This role provided me with invaluable experience in understanding the intricacies of legislative processes and the importance of constituent engagement in shaping effective policies.I pride myself on being an intentional, committed, and hardworking individual. These qualities have been instrumental in my ability to navigate complex socio-political landscapes and advocate for policies that prioritize the well-being of children, both domestically and internationally.My primary focus is on child welfare policy, particularly at the intersection of international communication and collaboration. I believe that fostering strong partnerships and enhancing dialogue between countries can lead to improved outcomes for children worldwide. In the future, I am eager to gain hands-on experience in building international relationships and developing preventative measures for domestic abuse affecting children.Let’s connect if you share a passion for public policy, child welfare, and international collaboration, or if you\'re looking to engage on these critical issues.
