Where did you intern during summer 2020?
This past summer I interned for the Scheinman Institute on Conflict Resolution to research how lawsuits impacted city accountability by analyzing trends in New York City’s budget, lawsuit expenses, amount of claims, type of claims, and policy changes providing examples of ineffective and effective governance and behavior or individual public employees and departmental agencies. I enjoyed discussing ideas about my research and current events with fellow interns, supervisors, and professionals connected to the Scheinman Institute.
