Biography

Major: Public Policy
Hometown: Carnation, Washington
Thesis Advisor: James Fishkin

Tentative Thesis Title: Force of the Better Argument: Mechanisms of Persuasion in Deliberative Polling

Future aspirations post-Stanford: I could see a lot of paths forward from here. Heading to law school, working as a legislative aide, running for local office, and fleeing from modernity to a cabin in the wilderness are all ideas I'm currently considering.

A fun fact about yourself: I design games. If you're a nerd like me and you like the sound of fighting giant monsters, check out Trail of the Behemoth on DriveThruRPG!
