Alumni Profile

Ivanley Noisette (L’18) has built his career around a central conviction: that everyone—no matter their background—deserves a voice in shaping the policies that affect their lives. As a legislative director on Capitol Hill, Ivanley is deeply committed to working collectively across barriers to build opportunity in communities of hope and promise in the United States and globally. He also works at the nexus of foreign affairs, trade, and human rights, with a special focus on Africa and the Caribbean. He sees policymaking not as an abstract process, but as a tool to empower communities to advocate for themselves—bridging the gap between those directly impacted and those with access to the institutional power to implement change.
