Alene Hanson was a Research Assistant at CICS from June 2022 to August 2023. She worked on the HVIP, Policing Alternatives, ABLE survey analysis projects to name a few. Alene is now focusing on doing economic consulting following her graduation from Georgetown. Her favorite memory at CICS is meeting the CICS team in person for the first time after almost a year of working together! She is very grateful to have had the opportunity to work with some of the smartest people she’s met who are all doing awesome, important work.
