Presenting at APPAM Fall Conference 2022.

This November I got a chance to present my ongoing work titled “Exploring the relationship between mental health issues in youth and later life economic outcomes” at the 2022 APPAM Fall Research Conference held in Washington D.C. It was very enriching to be able to exchange ideas and meet with so many great minds in the policy research field. Not only did I get feedback on the work that I was presenting there, but I also got a lot of new ideas to pursue and some new perspectives for my other work in progress which is about out-of-school student suspensions. In a nutshell, it was an exhilarating and wholesome experience for a PhD student like me.
