Britney Anglin is a first-year master’s student at Howard University, pursuing a master’s degree in economics. She obtained her bachelor’s degree at West Virginia University, where she majored in economics and minored in political science. Being a first-generation US-born citizen, to Jamaican immigrant parents, Jamaica is a large part of who she is. Having spent her childhood summers in Jamaica, she had a firsthand look at the economic disparities that the country faces. With this in mind, her current research interests focus on Jamaica and how economic and/or education policy decisions or the lack thereof have had an impact on the inhabitants of the country.
