"My experiences in the I/O program at Georgia Tech were really instrumental in laying the foundation for future success in my academic career. In particular, the caliber of the methodological and quantitative training I received while there has given me great flexibility in pursuing the topics that I want to investigate and adapting the approaches that I take to the needs of those topics in my research program. It has also been great remaining connected to the program since graduating, with a particular highlight being visiting to give a colloquium last spring that doubled as an opportunity to chat about ongoing and new collaborations that will keep me involved with the program in the future".
