Hi, my name is Ben. I am a J.D. Candidate at Boston University School of Law with a versatile background in legal, political, and creative pursuits, as well as digital strategy and fundraising operations.
I previously served as Finance Associate for Senator Cory Booker's campaign (NJ) and as Finance Director and Creative Director for Congressman Rob Menendez's campaign (NJ-8), driving engagement and delivering results.
A compelling narrative can persuade, introduce new ideas, spur reflection, foster understanding, and bring people together. I’m passionate about building stories and using them for good. With a Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy and Theatre, I bring a unique blend of analytical thinking, persuasive communication, and creative problem-solving to the table.
I earned my bachelor's degree from Hamilton College (Cum Laude), and I received the Senior Prize in Theatre upon graduation. I am also a proud alumnus of The Second City's Comedy Studies program and Newark Academy.​
