Hometown: Houghton, NY
Education: Saint Vincent College; B.A. in Politics
Work Experience: Editor-in-Chief, Saint Vincent College Review
Why I Chose MAGES: I have a strong interest in three areas: constitutional law, international law, and US foreign policy. Someday, I hope to serve my country in a capacity that shapes public policy, and I believe that it is difficult to legislate or advise wisely without understanding these three things. Georgetown's dual JD/MA in German & European Studies caught my attention because it allows me to take advantage of my German heritage and foreign language skills to combine these interests in a unique way.
Intended Academic Focus: European defense & security, transatlantic relations, and the shifting dynamics of European cultural identity.
