Founder & Principal Analyst
Hello, I’m Allie, a policy analyst who works at the intersection of data and storytelling. I have a skill for bridging research and real-world practice.
My commitment to equity in public systems isn't abstract. It stems from my own experience navigating them. I care about building evidence that helps public systems actually serve the people they're designed to serve.
Why am I now living in Spain? After working in U.S. public policy for almost a decade, I wanted to have new conversations and see policy problems from a new perspective.
I came to Spain to teach and to gain fluency in a second language and culture. Moving abroad allowed me to slow down, discover new ways of thinking about public systems, and pursue my goal of improving my language fluency.
Getting up early to swim in an open water competition, a decision I often regret until the race starts.
When I'm not swimming, I'm usually exploring new restaurants, spending time with my family, or reading a good book.
