Alexandria Icenhower was drawn to the Bryce Harlow Foundation as a place where she could learn from others — and join a community of like-minded individuals. “Being a fellow instantly conveys that you are committed to integrity in lobbying,” she says. Ali recently began a new job at Honeywell involving more direct advocacy, thanks in part to the mentoring piece of the fellowship program. “The foundation has already had a huge, positive impact on my career, largely through my mentor, Arshi Siddiqui” says Ali. “Her coaching, ideas, and guidance have been wonderful.”
Ali’s interest in lobbying started in high school where she was involved in the California Association of Student Councils which focused on education issues. This experience led her to pursue an undergraduate degree in political science at Wellesley College. She is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Political Communications at Johns Hopkins University.
