Mark Shapiro · 2026

I'm a freshman at George Washington University, studying international relations. My work has taken me from constituent communications on Capitol Hill to teaching older adults how to use technology.

Across those settings, I bring steady curiosity, careful communication, and a bias toward helping people feel capable. I'm especially interested in policy, international relations, and technology that serves real communities.
