Why did you choose to apply to the Lott Leadership Institute?
The Lott Leadership Institute program is more than just classes. It provides many opportunities to learn and get involved, as well as connections on and off campus. In addition, Lott students and PPL professors are diverse in learning and career goals, which forces the students to think about different points of view and learn more than one side of an issue. Each of these features helped draw me towards the program and contribute to why I love Lott. I chose PPL as my major because of all that the Lott program has to offer and its holistic approach to teaching Public Policy.

What are your career aspirations?
I aspire to work in State Government, specifically in the South. Though I am not sure exactly what I want to do yet, I want to work at the State level so I can be more hands-on and closer to the policy I work with and the people I serve. I hope to build a career where I can create or influence policy that has a positive effect on local needs, especially the needs of the underserved and overlooked in my community.
