About Andrew

• I grew up in Bluffton, Indiana, with parents who really emphasized the importance of public service and community organizing throughout my childhood.
• I learned a lot about politics, policy, and law through a full-time internship on Capitol Hill during my junior year of college.
• I decided to go to law school after earning my bachelor’s degree because I wanted to do more work with policy on a national scale in order to engage in public service.
• During law school, I did an internship with the National Economic Council at the White House, which helped affirm who I was becoming and allowed me to figure out which areas I was most interested in.
• I learned that within policy, I was especially interested in economic development—I began that route by working at the U.S. Treasury Department and the White House during the Clinton administration.
• I then moved on to international economic development, working in the private sector and then eventually transitioning back into the public sector during the Obama administration.
• I shifted into domestic economic development through my role at the Office of Management and Budget.
• In my current role as federal chief sustainability officer for the Biden administration, part of my work includes progressing and supporting economic opportunity through the climate crisis.
