policy research

I was chosen as one of 15 students selected to be a Summer Research Intern for the USC Center for the Political Future and the USC Wrigley Institute for Environment and Sustainability. This summer, I explored how environmental policy can impact our everyday lives and community systems by writing a Legislative Policy Memo (published on USC's website) and Legislative Process Analysis on SB 1383, analyzing how the bill on organics recycling came into effect and how to improve it. The Memo and Process Analysis considered impact, stakeholders, and provided recommendations. I shared my writing with state representatives and am now collaborating with CalRecycle to improve SB 1383's enforcement and reach across California.
