PUBLIC POLICY - MASTER'S DEGREE

Once I finished my graduate certificate and helped my workplace allocate CARES funding, I realized that my passion lay in public policy solutions. I began my studies at George Mason University's Schar School of Policy and Government in August 2021; my degree will be conferred in May 2023.

​

Please find below a selection of assignments from my graduate career. This program has vastly improved my writing, analytical, research, and presentation skills. I look forward to utilizing all that I've learned in a way that contributes to a sustainable future.
