Why did you choose McCourt? I chose McCourt because it is one of the best places in the world to study Public Policy! It's location is unmatched - we are surrounded by policymakers and politicians, and so everyday we can see what we learn on the Hilltop put into practice. This also means that we have great access to such individuals, through guest lectures, seminars, and fellowship programs.

What has been the best part of your experience so far? The people! McCourt attracts a diverse group of individuals from all walks of life, and all backgrounds, and I truly believe that the best people to learn from are your own peers. Coming from another country, it can be daunting to make friends, but there is a great community at the school.

Student organization involvement while at McCourt: Georgetown Public Policy Review (GPPR), Environment and Energy (E&E), Women in Public Policy Initiative (WiPPI)

Undergraduate University, degree, and major: University College London, Law (LLB)

Hobbies/ Interests: I am broadly interested in lobbying, communications, and the intersection of law, policy and politics.
