Transforming American education

I’ve always been interested in history and political institutions, originally wanting to pursue a career in academic philosophy researching democratic theory, political philosophy, and legal theory. Law school seemed more immediately feasible, though, and so it’s been extra exciting to find a path into the think tank and policy world — working on education policy — that allows me to make the most out of my philosophical and legal roots.
