Why did you choose McCourt? I chose McCourt because, like many of my classmates, I wanted to develop a stronger quantitative background and to grow my policy skills in a truly collaborative program, all while being able to keep my day job.

What was the best part of your experience? Getting to know my classmates. Everyone has such different and interesting backgrounds.

Undergraduate Degree and University: I received my degree in Public Affairs with Research Distinction from The Ohio State University.

Hobbies / Interests: If you’re thinking about doing the MPP Evening Program and want to learn more (or talk about where to find good vegetarian food in DC), feel free to reach out. I am also an AmeriCorps VISTA alum.
