About Benjamin Strode
As an aspiring policy professional with a strong interest in economic development and public finance, I am eager to leverage my background in public affairs to create solutions that balance innovation, growth, and community well-being. I am particularly passionate about exploring the intersection of finance, economics, and policy to drive impactful change. Currently pursuing a Master of Public Affairs at Indiana University, I am seeking an internship in consulting, government relations, or community development where I can apply my analytical, research, and communication skills to help organizations address complex challenges and deliver impactful results.
