- Bio: I am a second year MPA student, concentrating in Social Policy and specializing inManagement. I am a Chilean lawyer and I have been living in NYC for the past 5 years. I am interested in education topics and that is why I been taking classes such as Innovation in k-12 education or Economics of Education (at Teachers College). I took this class because I want to learn more about Higher Education, successful cases and comparative experiences. In Chile we are in the middle of a huge educational reform, therefore I would like to have a better understanding of the topic. After my masters, I would like to go back to my country and contribute to improve our educational system, either by working in the Ministry of Education or in some nonprofit that works in the field.
