Bio

I am a current graduate student at the University of Iowa's School of Social Work. I completed my Bachelor's degree at Mount Mercy with a Bachelor's of Art in Social Work. I am interested in integrated practice, focusing on policy research and evaluation as well as grant writing. I began my social work career at Mount Mercy and continued onto the University of Iowa for a Master of Social Work in Integrated Practice. While I am here at the Public Policy Center, I will be working with Tessa Heeren on the Medicaid Program Evaluation, analyzing and coding the data.
