Why LEO?

"My roots are in community service and activism, and my education is in economics. I have always aspired to build a career that helps people and makes a positive difference. Through LEO, I found a community that combines the rigor of causal research with boots-on-the-ground collaboration to produce relevant policy recommendations and, hopefully, improve lives."
