Our featured alumni this week is Tim Robustelli!
Tim graduated from the MAIR program in 2017 and went on to work at New America in the Future of Land and Housing Program. This program looks at property rights challenges both internationally and domestically and finds solutions at the intersection of technology and policymaking. Tim has released research in the program, but has also been able to write for publications like the Washington Post, Politico, and CNN. Overall, he has enjoyed his time in policy research and is hoping to build on that in the future by possibly pursuing research in the academic sphere.
Tim says that he uses the writing, critical thinking, and time management skills he learned in the MAIR program every day at work. His advice to MAIR students is to stay curious and not to be afraid to take opportunities that might seem tangential to your interests. You just might end up finding something you’re passionate about!
