After college, I went to law school with the goal of dedicating my life to fighting for workers' rights and civil rights. I focused my studies at the Georgetown University Law Center on employment law, labor law, constitutional law, and the role of race and gender in U.S. law.
After law school, many of my classmates went on to lucrative jobs at large law firms in New York or California. However, it was 2016, so I moved back to Columbus the day after graduation and went to work campaigning for candidates who matched my values.
For the last three years, I have worked in plaintiff-side employment law, representing people who have faced discrimination and harassment in the workplace.

When the U.S. was founded, there were few examples of democracy for us to draw from. Now, we can look to experiments that other countries have tried to see what works and what does not.
I would like to see a blend of different electoral reforms to get the best results for voters.
Some U.S. states, including California and Arizona, have nonpartisan commissions that draw congressional districts. These plans have been pretty successful overall and have taken out the influence of politicians in the redistricting process.
Several countries, including Germany and New Zealand, use a system known as "mixed-member proportional representation." Voters are presented with two ballots. On the first ballot, they vote for the representative for their local area. On the second ballot, they vote for their preferred party. If the members elected on the first ballot do not reflect the party preferences of the population as a whole, seats are added to make sure that the legislature reflects the will of the people expressed in the second ballot.
In some countries, including Ireland, there are districts with multiple members, and representatives are chosen proportionally based on how many voters supported each party in that district.
