As a student of public policy, Miles' specialties include politics, advocacy, foreign and domestic policy, and economics. He has done extensive research on both the migrant crisis in Afghanistan and higher education policy in the United States. He is also an avid home cook, and worked in a bakery for several years, so he also has knowledge in those fields as well.
Academically and professionally, Miles is interested especially in foreign policy and international security, as well as social justice and advocacy. Outside of his studies, Miles enjoys playing soccer, cooking and baking, watching the English Premier League and college basketball, playing video games, and traveling. He is an intermediate Spanish speaker, and hopes to eventually study abroad in Spain or Latin America.
Politics are very important to the field of public policy. Miles is interested in the connection between the two, and how in many cases, policy creates politics and not the other way around. He has written policy briefs on higher education policy and criminal justice reform, the former 7 pages in length and the latter about 4.
Miles' main content type is research papers and policy/issue briefs. He is a skilled researcher, capable of using a variety of mediums and analytical tools and adapting research into a compelling narrative. He has researched foreign policy, higher education, criminal justice, international history, and topics affecting the Spanish-speaking world through his study of the Spanish language and culture.
