I completed a Master of Public Policy this May from the Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota. My concentration combined global public policy, economic development, and community organizing. I also have a B.S. in physics from Texas A&M University.

1. What are your main interests? Feel free to include a "pie in the sky" big idea!
2. What sorts of expertise can you bring to the group?
3. What do you hope to get out of the CSSS?
4. Do you have any possible projects in mind for the CSSS? (Recall that you will all be working in groups on at least one project with the goal of presenting your progress on the last day and finishing up a paper by sumer's end.)
