I'm currently living in Washington DC and working as a
research assistant at a think tank/research organization called the Urban
Institute in the Metropolitan Housing and Communities policy center. It's
pretty cool that I get to work on a lot of research similar to the LAKES
project--mixed methods and community-based--but with more of a housing focus.
About half of my projects are evaluations of federal housing programs, and my
office is right next to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, which
is pretty neat (and provides ample opportunities for becoming acquainted with
government bureaucracy at its finest). I'm definitely grateful for my
experience in Menomonie for preparing me to do this kind of research.
Other than that, I still run a lot (and still miss running
in Menomonie), bike everywhere, sometimes hang with Erin who also lives in the
city, and would still lose to Alexis in an arm wrestling match.
