Hello, my name is Angel Puder, and I'm currently pursuing a Master of Public Administration at Cornell University’s Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy with an expected graduation in May 2026. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and African and African American Studies from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge.

I had the privilege of serving as an AmeriCorps VISTA with the Fifth Ward Community Redevelopment Corporation in Houston, TX, where I gained valuable experience in community development, project managament, and public service. My goal is to leverage my background in public policy, the African American experience, and political communication to advance solutions for food security in low-income and minority communities.
