Why did you choose McCourt? The rigorous quantitative sequence would help build my skills in policy analysis, and the flexibility with the Evening Program was important as I pursue my degree while working full time.

What has been the best part of your experience so far? Collaborating with my cohort, whether through problem sets or policy ideas, as well as informal conversations with classmates and professors alike on career paths and different job fields.

Student organization involvement while at McCourt: I was selected as a McCourt Leadership Fellow for 2021.

Undergraduate University, degree, and major:  The College of New Jersey, Political Science and Russian Studies

Hobbies / Interests: My main policy interests are in foreign policy decision-making and emergency management, and hope to use my public policy skills to contribute to these fields. In my free time, I play volleyball and enjoy working out, binge-watching Netflix (somewhat responsibly), and trying new desserts!
