Bio

Jacob is passionate about economics, specifically the statistics behind macroeconomics and real-world policy. At school, he is also interested in math, history (specifically European history) and Latin. Jacob especially appreciates interdisciplinary approaches to education and finds it interesting when many of his classes cover the same topic through different perspectives. In his free time, Jacob also creates crosswords and goes on long walks around where he lives. His favorite movie is Interstellar, his favorite Jeopardy! superchamp is Sam Buttrey (followed closely by Mattea Roach) and his favorite musical is Les Miserables.
