Why did you choose McCourt? The Master in Policy Management program at McCourt is unparalleled. This program is designed for emerging policy leaders who find themselves hungry for the academic rigor that only Georgetown can offer, and who are passionate about connecting evidence-based policy analysis to key decision makers in order to solve complex policy issues.

What was the best part of your experience? Brain stretching required! As a McCourt student you are surrounded by staff, faculty, and other students with unique and valuable experiences. Both in and outside of the classroom, I have had the opportunity to connect with some incredible thought leaders and practitioners who have encouraged me to challenge my own assumptions and explore alternative ways of thinking about today's most pressing policy issues.

Undergraduate Degree and University: Bachelor of Liberal Arts, University of New Mexico -- Everyone's a Lobo, Woof Woof Woof!

Hobbies / Interests: Putting for par, traveling back home to NM for a green chile fix, unleashing my inner Georgia O'Keeffe with acrylics on canvas, and giving back to the DMV community as a member of the Junior League of Washington.
