Public Service & Administration Experts

Hello! I'm Paul, I'm a current U.S. House of Representatives Policy Fellow and a recent Master in Public Policy graduate from the Harvard Kennedy School. I have a rich background in public service and federal careers. My experience includes roles as a data scientist at the Department of Justice and an economist at the Bureau of Labor Statistics, where I honed my skills in policy analysis and strategic planning. I've successfully coached individuals in navigating grad school admissions, securing U.S. federal government positions, and crafting compelling resumes and cover letters. My journey has been marked by prestigious fellowships, including a full-tuition scholarship and a summer fellowship with the City of Detroit's Mayor's Office. I am passionate about helping others achieve their dreams, whether it's landing a job at a top institution or winning scholarship money for school. I'm here to provide fast, responsive support, so feel free to reach out for guidance on your public service career path!

With a Master's in Public Health from Harvard and a Bachelor's from the University of Florida, I bring a strong academic foundation and a passion for public service to my coaching. My experience spans impactful roles, including managing strategic communication and advocacy initiatives at the United Nations Foundation and coordinating high-profile campaign events for the Biden for President campaign. I've also interned with the Post-Presidency Office of Barack and Michelle Obama, gaining firsthand experience in public engagement and event planning. Whether you're looking to break into public health, policy, or advocacy, I'm here to guide you through the process.

**Why I'm qualified to coach in this category:** I hold a Master of Public Policy & Administration along with a graduate certificate in Nonprofit Leadership, but the degree is really just the starting point. I've spent my career living at the intersection of public policy, nonprofit work, and corporate strategy: leading community programs and public-sector partnerships at a nonprofit, partnering with Legal and Government Affairs to navigate regulatory alignment during one of the largest aerospace mergers in the industry, and now advising on regulatory compliance and disclosure frameworks like CSRD across global markets. That path taught me how public service thinking actually plays out in practice, from grantmaking and municipal partnerships to policy compliance inside large organizations. I coach from real experience translating policy into action, not just theory from a classroom.

Hi there service-minded friends! I'd be glad to share the lessons I've learned from my own journey away from and back toward public service and administration. Most recently, I've spent time in state government, with a nonprofit in the service-minded career pathways space, and with an impact-minded for-profit organization too. So I'm always eager to explore and guide folks through the many angles by which service can find its way into a career. Holler if I can be of help!

I have applied to and been offered 5 jobs post graduate at "green jobs". I networked, applied, interviewed, and gotten these jobs using skills I picked up, AI, and the help of other mentors. I also got into Columbia graduate school and got 3 internships by myself. I consider myself very qualified to help with applying for early career jobs, nailing interviews, and making the best resume. I also have great advice on how to find jobs, tips for getting interviews, and how to network. I helped mentor interns and my current employee I manage. Lastly, I have a great network in the sustainability world and startup industry, especially in New York City. Currently I work at the department of sanitation in New York City.
