Why LEO?

"I believe in the power of rigorous, bipartisan research to drive meaningful change. At LEO, I’m inspired by the opportunity to contribute to work that doesn’t just study poverty—but actively seeks to solve it. I’m drawn to the challenge of producing evidence that can help service providers and one day inform real-world policy. LEO is a rare place where academia greets reality."
