We live in a world full of pain and confusion that causes many to despair. However, I believe research can help provide hope, create greater empathy, and actually fix problems instead of simply illuminating them. Urban does an outstanding job of producing high-quality research that helps tackle issues that prevent those in poverty from achieving socioeconomic mobility. I look forward to helping Urban find and create innovative solutions to society’s most pressing problems.
