Lydia Bacigalupo, she/her

Business Operations Consultant

I recently graduated from Carleton College with my BA in Statistics and am currently a Master’s of Public Policy student at the University of Chicago. I have expansive experience in data-driven policy research, social advocacy, and communications at several organizations across Duluth, St. Paul, Delaware, Chicago, and Washington DC, and previously led nation-wide operations and marketing initiatives for Civic Debate Academy and the National Debate Club. Currently, I’m a marketing and operations specialist for National Symposium for Debate. These experiences have helped me further my interest in the intersection of business operations and social impact.
