Since earning her MPA in 2021, Arielle Baldwin worked for the advocacy nonprofit Time’s Up and thinktank Third Way before moving on to the Federation of American Scientists, where she now serves as senior project associate. “I get to talk to esteemed government officials, talented researchers, and innovators daily,” she said. “At that level, being able to evolve an idea into a project, and, eventually, a product, is incredibly rewarding.” She credits SPA for providing her with the tools to succeed in the nonprofit industry. “I gained invaluable knowledge, in rigorous courses, that help me address tough issues with internal and external partners––large and small––to this day.”
