About
I am a graduate student getting my MA in Political Science at Eastern Illinois University. I have a major concentration in public administration and public policy with a minor concentration in American politics. I have a BA in History from Millikin University. I have done an internship with the City of Charleston, IL last summer, 2014 where I observed every department in the city to see how the city runs. I did several site plan reviews to make sure that they were in compliance with the City's Unified Development Code and zoning ordinance under the Planning and Building Inspection Department.
