Noah is most interested in policies regarding civil liberties, animal rights, and climate, and hopes to someday earn a Ph.D in Political Science. For his first semester with PvP, he worked closely with Dr. Nick Clark in researching and writing over a dozen policy briefs. In his second semester internship, he worked closely with Dr. William Bianco on copy editing and source verification of over sixty policy briefs.

This summer, he looks forward to utilizing his research skills as the Deputy Chief of Staff for IL House Assistant Majority Leader Natalie Manley. In reflecting on his internship, he says "The insights I gathered [at PvP] will be of great use. Spending hours researching policy topics gave me an appreciation for the expertise that is actually required to fully grasp these complex issues. I created clear yet nuanced policy briefs, and those skills can be used to communicate to constituents. Having the understanding that some of these topics really require specialized knowledge makes it harder for me to politicize policy. In my small corner, I want to be a bulwark for the position that policy options should be considered by a thorough investigation of their merits rather than ideology".
