Responsible Community Development Policy interests: Criminal justice, Diversity, race, and opportunity, Education, Energy, Government reform, Human rights, Immigration, International development, International security, Nonprofits and philanthropy, Poverty and social justice, Religion, Science and innovation, The media, Voting rights, Women, gender, and feminism I am a freshman at James Madison College of Public and International Affairs at Michigan State University dual majoring in International Relations/ Political Theory and Constitutional Democracy. I joined Roosevelt hoping someday to work in a think-tank in political reform, focusing first in the United States and also in Central Asia (part of the former USSR). The former I am attempting to tackle now; the latter is the reason for my specialization in Central Asian Developmental Studies. I have great trust in the potential of democracy, but am also greatly worried about its flaws.
Within Michigan State's chapter I have submitted policy to the "Making Democracy Work" challenge, and am currently working in centers on Refugee Warehousing and Governmental Reform.
