In November 2020, Juliana joined Carsey School Academic Director Dan Bromberg for a discussion about the Accelerated Master’s degree program.

Carsey School Director of Academic Programs Dan Bromberg interviews Juliana Good (they/them/theirs), a student in the Accelerated Master in Public Policy program, to discuss why Juliana chose the program and how it's preparing Juliana for a new career.

What type of capstone project are you working on or will you work on?

For my capstone, I would like to pilot the framework I am currently working on for a social enterprise that works with small businesses and communities of disabled people to create more accessible commerce communities in New Hampshire towns and cities.

Juliana Good, 2019 Spirit Award winner

Juliana won a Volunteer Service Award at the 2019 Spirit of New Hampshire Awards.

What aspect or aspects of the MPP program have you found most valuable so far?

The academic and professional connections have been amazing. All of the Carsey faculty are incredibly well-connected, and I've gotten the opportunity to chat with some truly experienced and inspirational people. Faculty members such as Michael Swack and Dan Bromberg have been so giving of their time and insight, and I've learned as much outside of the classroom as I have in each course.

What are one or two career goals you have for yourself?

I would like to run my own social enterprise related to creating better accessibility outcomes for the disabled community. Any job where I am working towards increased equity for marginalized communities is a job that I will be glad to do!
