Towards the end of his college career, he worked as a legislative fellow with the United States Senate, with a major part of his experience being his work with a diversity initiative in 2009/2010. This was a profound experience, instilling in him a passion for building up the experience of others through the policy-making process. Moses’ experience in the Senate allowed him to develop an excellent network of professional associates in and outside of the senate. One of his most well-known contributions was his work as an assistant to the Senate Majority Leader of the time, Harry Reid
His interest in a policy-level career pushed him to continue his education, and he soon moved onwards to Clark University for a Master’s Degree. This education further access and certification in the field. While he worked towards this degree, his governmental career would continue with work alongside Worcester City Councilor Sarai Rivera. In 2013, he earned his master’s degree in Community and Public Affairs, furthering his potential.
