Why did you choose McCourt? McCourt is renowned for its rigorous curriculum and strong emphasis on data-driven policy analysis. It provides excellent professional development resources, including career services, workshops, and access to a network of successful alumni.
What professional/ work experience did you have prior to coming to McCourt? Before joining McCourt, I conducted research on China’s rural revitalization and led a volunteer team to rural areas to study local agricultural practices. We completed research reports and a business plan with recommendations aimed at helping local farmers and industries increase their income. Later, I conducted empirical analysis on the outcomes of rural revitalization and developments in rural finance, producing comprehensive reports based on data from China’s central provinces. These experiences provided me with a solid foundation in research and analytical thinking, which now support my studies at McCourt. From then on, I became keen on finding ways to create real-world impact through my work.
What has been the best part of your experience so far? The best part of my McCourt experience has been engaging with a diverse and supportive community and learning from experienced professors who bring real-world insights into the classroom.
