Why did you choose McCourt? I chose Georgetown because of the option to do a dual degree PhD in Psychology and MPP. The policy expertise I am learning at McCourt combined with my research on mathematical cognition in the Psychology Department are key to my broader goal of helping improve and advise on math education and related policies.
What has been the best part of your experience so far? Working with the Professors both inside and outside of coursework has been extremely rewarding.
Undergraduate University, degree, and major: University of Western Ontario, BSc Honors Specialization in Psychology
