My policy center for the Roosevelt Institution is focusing on the shortage of quality childcare in New York City: how local government can expand access to quality childcare, especially for low income families. In addition to this work, for my economics thesis I am studying "Q Comp," an education reform in Minnesota, where school districts elect to dismantle their teachers' traditional salary schedules and replace them with a system aligning their wage increases with their performance. When I'm not doing economics or policy research, I'm instructing swing dancing lessons, reading Haruki Murakami novels, watching the Daily Show, or doing those other things we students like to do in NYC.   The Roosevelt Institution is a nonpartisan, nonprofit national think tank devoted to bringing students' policy ideas to the policy process.
