Double Specialization: American Politics and State and Local Policy

I have always considered myself a social entrepreneur. I look for creative ways to reconcile the need to earn money with my personal passion to serve others. Operating a small staffing firm along with a nonprofit organization that works with local agencies to provide career training and educational services allows me to satisfy both interests. We are developing a model for private-public partnership encouraged by the School of Public Policy and reinforced in my strategy and tax classes in the state and local policy specialization.
