Welcome to my account of my summer in New York City. If the first week here is any sign of what is to come, this should be an incredible experience...
As for who I am, my name is Danielle Bangs. I am a senior Policy Analysis and Management major at Cornell University. I was born and raised in Ithaca, and transferred to Cornell from Boston University. My interests center around economic and social policy. I am moved by inequality (in all realms), poverty and injustice. I am particuliarly interested in minority and immigrant rights, the living wage movement and workers rights, health care reform and educational reform. I am potentially interested in pursuing politics, law or a career in policy analysis and/or advocacy. I hope to use my experiences at Cornell, in CUSP, and in future educational pursuits to impact the state of our nation and world - which i firmly believe is a wonderfull place, but one that is in need of serious reform.
I have a wonderful, incredible family, and friends that mean the world to me. I love children. People fascinate me and I love to meet/study/analyze them. I love to experience other cultures and countries, and I hope that traveling is always a significant part of my life. I am interested in theatre, literature, traveling, philosophy and religion, music, social justice, food and restaurants, history, psychology, human biology, economics, film and fashion...etc...
I am particuliarly excited to be able to work at New York City Council for Council Member Gale Brewer because it will be an invaluable opportunity to experience politics and policy making in a very diverse population. I am also thrilled to be able to see and experience everything this incredible city has to offer. I am extremely thankful for this opportunity.
