The Mission
Welcome to The Policy Nexus. This platform is dedicated to unmasking the inequities within administrative systems. I founded this site to bridge the gap between complex public administration theory and the daily lives of global citizens.
Here, we go beyond the headlines to analyze how policy timelines and bureaucratic structures impact underserved communities—both offline and online.
The Research
As a Doctor of Public Administration (DPA) student at the University of La Verne, my academic work focuses on the intersection of public health, digital policy, and social justice.
My primary research interest lies in "Administrative Chrononormativity"—a concept rooted in Jack Halberstam's work. I examine how rigid institutional timelines often exclude non-normative life cycles, particularly affecting queer health outcomes and marginalized populations who do not follow the "traditional" linear path of life.
Leadership & Advocacy
Theory must always be informed by practice. My analysis is grounded in active leadership roles within the governance systems I study:
2025 Equity Fellow: I work to ensure that political platforms and state policies genuinely serve California's most underserved families, translating complex issues into actionable policy.
President, Graduate and Adult Student Government (GASG): Serving the University of La Verne’s graduate and adult learner community, I advocate for shared governance and institutional equity (2025-2026 Academic Year).
Commissioner, Community Action Partnership (CAP): I represent the low-income sector, providing a direct voice for community needs in local governance.
Community Service
My commitment to equity extends beyond the classroom and the boardroom. As a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) for Voices for Children and through past casework with the Red Cross, I have seen firsthand how policy failures impact vulnerable individuals. These experiences drive my commitment to developing sustainable, human-centered policies.
