Who am I?
I have experience working in the field on political campaigns and working with a variety of types of election-related data. Before working in political field experiments, I helped build the datasets used in Google and Vote.org's polling place locator, data pipelines for other progressive data organizations, and data infrastructure for local government.
Advice for prospective candidates
Demonstrating your ability to think through and explain things (for instance your thought process, or the details of a problem) is more important than always having the right answer in this application process. Show off your communication skills and your ability to problem-solve and you will go far!
