Eric became interested in government and public policy when he was involved with student government as an IU student. He also became frustrated with the way the world was unfolding and became conscious of the need for politicians to make better use of data as a tool to solve problems. Upon graduation in 2018, Eric was looking for a career path that would allow him to apply his academic skillet in math and physics in a way that would allow him to positively impact governmental structures, systems, and policies. In this episode, he shares his path thus far and some things he’s learned about the world of work since graduating in 2018 and moving to Chicago, including how important it is to get a wide variety of experiences as a young professional.
