Isabel Culver

Isabel, a native Clevelander, is currently pursuing a joint MPA/J.D. at Princeton/Harvard with the intent of concentrating in international financial policy. Most recently, she worked as a senior research assistant for the Global Financial Institutions section in the International Finance division of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. Her time at the Fed strengthened her interest in economic policymaking by allowing her to contribute to briefings for the Board of Governors and to conduct research on the foremost issues in international finance systems, such as the implications of heightened geopolitical risk and dollar funding market vulnerabilities. Her academic interest in international political economy can be traced back to her time at Brown University where she studied economics and international and public affairs. Her coursework in Providence was complemented with her experience leading teams on Brown’s nonpartisan student-run think tank, the Brown Initiative for Policy, and working closely with Professor Wendy Schiller to explore domestic violence policy diffusion. In her free time, Isabel enjoys reading, lifting, solving and making crosswords, and obsessing over her labradoodle.
