Lucy is interested in questions at the intersection of STEM and social policy, including equity in the STEM sector, and how we can ensure big data and algorithmic methods are used to promote not devolve equity. She hopes that her study at the Kennedy School will allow her to gain an international perspective of such issues, whilst learning from leading thinkers in these fields. Following the Kennedy school she hopes to work at an international organisation, potentially in the area of education for girls, with a long term aim of taking what she learns back to New Zealand.
