Raised in the Chicago suburbs, Beatrice contributes to APS & Associates her lifelong passion for Chicago culture and politics, as well as fierce adherence to innovative social justice. Leading up to the 2022 Midterm, Beatrice worked with progressive candidates across the state of Missouri as a Fellow with Meyers Okhoson Political Consulting. Her aspiration to deal with local public affairs came after interning for Advocacy Associates out of D.C., where she aided in lobbying for local, state, and national organizations across America. Before entering the professional world, Beatrice received her Bachelors of American Studies and Political Science from Saint Louis University in 2021, where she regularly volunteered with reproductive justice organizations, served on policy committees, and lambasted Saint Louis-style pizza. She completed her Masters of American Studies the following year under a departmental fellowship. Her thesis focused on workers’ justice movements amid increasing levels of dystopian corporate surveillance. Beatrice’s favorite thing about Chicago is the food and eating it, as well as making conversation with strangers at the Art Institute
