Karl Wirth

Born and raised in New Jersey, Karl is excited to return to the Garden State after stints in Nashville, Tennessee and Washington, D.C. Karl graduated from Vanderbilt University with a double major in Economics and Public Policy Studies. While in school, he spent over a year exploring local government as an intern in the Nashville Finance Department. After graduation, Karl worked as a Research Assistant at the Federal Reserve Board of Governors for three years as a member of the Stress Testing section within the Division of Supervision and Regulation. Here, he supported the Stress Testing program through his preparation of briefing materials and his work toward improving model accuracy in the face of changing accounting standards. Both at Vanderbilt and the Federal Reserve, Karl has demonstrated his passion for economics and personal finance education through his leadership of volunteer organizations that strive to make these topics more accessible to high school students. At Princeton, Karl is looking forward to honing his understanding of public finance and applying that understanding to a range of policy areas. Outside of the classroom, he plans to continue his quest to find the perfect sandwich, a quest hopefully made easier by New Jersey's famed density of delis and diners.
