Age: 21
School and Year: University of Texas, Senior
Major (if applicable): English
Elevator Pitch: I first became interested in politics at 10 years old after being exposed to the Bush-Gore presidential election in 2000. Perhaps under the influence of my father, I was sure that Gore was the better candidate, and ever since then I've considered myself a Democrat! Starting in high school, I knew I wanted to work to spread progressive values and ideas, although I didn't know exactly how I wanted to do that. I'm excited to learn how to campaign through this program, so that I can help elect/ re-elect candidates who share similar Democratic principles with me.
Favorite Political Figures: Barack H. Obama! Some historical politicians I admire are Ataturk and FDR.
Favorite Musicians: Andrew Bird, Joanna Newsom
Interests: human and animal rights, film, folk music
