What interested you in the MES program?
The interdisciplinary approach.
What aspects of the program do you enjoy? What did you hope to gain/are currently gaining from the program?
I am learning a lot about research methods, best practices for research, and theoretical frameworks. I also learn a lot from my colleagues in the MES cohort.
Future Aspirations (career, education, etc.)
I am pretty open-minded but right now I am leaning towards something in policy development and/or analysis.
Anything else you'd like to add (interests, hobbies, relevant previous experiences, etc.)
I worked in climate policy advocacy and youth engagement in Washington, DC for five years before starting this program.
