My Work
Portfolio
A collection of projects across business strategy, data analysis, research, and writing,
plus community work from the field. Each piece reflects how I think through a problem
and communicate what I find.
Two international service trips that involved real physical work in under-resourced
communities. Both pushed me outside my comfort zone in ways that a classroom hasn't,
and both taught me more about adaptability and cross-cultural communication
than anything else I have done.
British Virgin Islands — Sunshade Repair & Animal Rescue
Spent time on a small island doing physical volunteer work across a few different sites.
We repaired a beach sunshade structure, helped with roofing work on a local farm laying
rebar and doing concrete prep, and spent time with a local animal rescue providing care
and deticking for puppies that had been brought in.
It was a lot of hands-on work in a place that was genuinely beautiful
and genuinely under-resourced at the same time.
Dominican Republic — Daycare & Primary Education Center
Traveled to Naranjo, a small Haitian community outside Santo Domingo, to help
build and run a preschool and day camp. During the day we mixed concrete, dug
foundations, and built walls. In the afternoons I taught beginner English to the kids,
and working with them ended up being the most rewarding part of the whole trip,
even though it was the last thing I expected going in.
