Why did you choose McCourt? I chose McCourt because it is one of the best places in the world to study public policy. Its location is unmatched. Policymakers and politicians surround us, so we can see what we learn on the Hilltop put into practice every day. 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.

What internships have you had so far during your time at McCourt? I was a Communications Intern at Signal Group Consulting (summer 2022)

Student organization involvement while at McCourt: Georgetown Public Policy Review (GPPR), GU Politics, Georgetown Technology Policy Initiative (GTPI)

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

Hobbies/ Interests: I am broadly interested in corporate and public sector strategy, and working with organisations to implement sustainable practices and policies
