Bio:

Hi, my name is Jaana Singh and I graduated from Bowdoin College in 2019 with a B.A. in Government and Legal Studies. After graduating, I’ve worked in Philadelphia and Iowa with the Biden for President Campaign. I now work for a top political consulting firm in DC.

At Bowdoin, I served as an Associate Editor for The Bowdoin Harpoon (satire magazine). I also led Let’s Get Ready (SAT and college prep organization), and volunteered at a local legal clinic in Portland, ME. When I’m not busy mulling over politics, I enjoy listening to music, painting, reading, playing around on Photoshop, and re-watching episodes of Nathan for You.
