Get to Know Me Further
Early in my time in Washington, DC, I worked at the Brookings Institution for a man who had the wisdom and steady hand of Professor Albus Dumbledore. Two things I learned from him at the extremes of comfort and fear were that a) every generation has its great fear (this is comforting because it gives me hope that we’ll get through these challenges as have our ancestors) and b) that future wars will be fought over water rights. The second one has always haunted me and it is why I’m so pleased to be working at an organization that is committed to pulling us back from the brink.
