After I graduated from Carleton College with a BA in mathematics and economics, I was excited to join the research team at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. I am currently working with External LinkJosé Mustre-del-Río and External LinkAndy Glover on various research projects. In addition to helping these economists with their research, I prepare policy materials, draft press releases for the Kansas City Fed’s LMCI, and give presentations on the economy and the Federal Reserve System to school and community groups. I really appreciate the variety of work in this job and the flexibility given to RAs to explore our interests.
