Blake M. (IN A NUTSHELL)

Blake is currently pursuing a degree in Government modified Economics and a minor in Human-Centered Design at Dartmouth College. At Dartmouth, Blake works for the Rockefeller Center as a policy fellow and as a student assistant for public programs. Blake’s first foray into politics began her junior year of high school when she attended The School for Ethics and Global Leadership (SEGL). This Washington D.C. program focuses on crafting cohorts of diverse students into an intentional community that learns to become more ethically-driven and globally aware. Since then, Blake has turned her focus to political media and communications, interning for a New York City public relations firm, and as a speech and copy writer for CNN host Michael Smerconish. In the fall of 2020, she worked as the Press Assistant on the Dr. Al Gross for U.S. Senate campaign based out of Anchorage, Alaska. This spring, she worked as Communications Associate on a local Manhattan campaign. This summer she will be working for a D.C.-based consulting firm. After high school, she took a gap year during which she backpacked her way through South East Asia and studied Spanish in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Outside the classroom, Blake is a member of the Dartmouth Figure Skating Club. Blake is excited to challenge her students to question their initial assumptions and to learn strategies for more effective communication.
