Working through complex topics and explaining them clearly has been a big part of my work. Writing research papers and policy analyses has helped me evaluate information, build solid arguments, and share my conclusions in a clear and organized way. Overall, it has strengthened my ability to reason through problems and communicate ideas effectively.
