Why did you choose McCourt? McCourt can prepare me to become a versatile policy analyst with its curriculums and unique resources. I love its quantitative cores because it is crucial to obtain both quantitative and qualitative skills in the current society. McCourt is also the best place to study policy in the U.S. because of its location in the capital city.

What has been the best part of your experience so far? I love the small classroom setting. You can get very detailed homework feedback from each professor.

Undergraduate University, degree, and major: University of California, San Diego, B.A. in Sociology

Hobbies/ Interests: I love watching ballet, especially the Mariinsky ballet from Russia. I like to watch ballet videos from YouTube and Instagram when there is no live performances. BTW McCourt is very close to the Kennedy Center, where you can watch a lot of high quality art performances from around the world.
