Hometown: Newtown, PA

Education: William & Mary; B.A. in History and Public Policy

Work Experience: I work as a research and editorial assistant at Georgetown University's Institute for the Study of Diplomacy. I previously interned at the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of International Organization Affairs and the Washington Ireland Program. Prior to Georgetown, I worked at legal and professional services firms, first in immigration and then in tax.

Why I Chose MAGES: I chose MAGES because it offers enough time for both internships and research. I've gained exposure to U.S. diplomacy, and my research focuses on the Northern Ireland peace process.

Intended Academic Focus: Multilateral affairs, peace and conflict diplomacy, and British and Irish politics
