I recently relocated to Seattle and continue to work in the Human Services division at Mathematica. This fall I plan to start a Master’s program at the College of Education at the University of Washington related to education policy and higher education. I anticipate this will tie in closely with my current work and plan to do both part-time!

"The Fellowship's structure of direct service and project work greatly contributed to how I tackle work in my current role. I'm also very grateful for the cohort model and believe they all pushed me to grow and reflect throughout my two years! I've tried to take this strong commitment to constant reflection in my current role"
