"I am passionate about reducing the administrative burden of receiving assistance and improving food systems through evidence-based policy."
"I was drawn to La Follette because of its small class size, focus on quantitative skills, and location."
"I was interested in La Follette because of the MIPA program in particular. I knew I wanted to focus on policy, but from an international perspective."
"I am incorporating so many values from the Wisconsin Idea ideology to empower Wisconsin youth to make a social impact abroad through volunteering."
"La Follette isn’t just a school; it’s a place where people lift each other up, making it an incredibly supportive environment."
"I’m planning to move to D.C. after graduation, and I already have alumni there helping me find a place and introducing me to people to connect with."
"My time in school here has reinforced the importance of empirical analysis in policy design and evaluation."
"I was initially drawn here by the opportunities for interdisciplinary learning, the small cohort, and the plentiful resources for UW graduate students."
"LFS has bolstered my analytical toolkit and provided invaluable professional experiences to advance my policy career."
