Brief Biographical Sketch:

Hi! I am a Senior Policy Analysis and Management major in the College of Human Ecology. Throughout my time at Cornell, I have used data to describe the world around me and prescribe solutions to some of the problems that face us today. I have been a research assistant for three years. I have also spent a semester in Washington, D.C. seeing evidence based problem solving be put into action. I am particularity interested in social policy (poverty, housing, education). In my spare time, I play the flute with the Big Red Bands.
