Why did you choose Fletcher for your graduate studies? Fletcher’s community is beyond any of those of any other program I considered. What do I mean by that? Fletcher students both support each other and expect a lot from one another. My experience at Fletcher was characterized by a tight knit student body of active participators in class and out-of-class events and people that believed that a hands-on approach to making change starts right at home in Medford, MA. 

How has Fletcher impacted your professional trajectory? The Fletcher experience opened up my eyes to a whole new professional world and network. Both the in-class experiences and those with my highly accomplished peer group pushed me to a new level professionally and intellectually. Since finishing at Fletcher, I’ve taken a more elevated approach to constructing a professional trajectory that combines greater effectiveness in the work I’m passionate about and more in-depth insight into the region I work in.
