Introducing Bill Schrecker, PolicyMap Intern
Bill has joined the PolicyMap team for a year-long internship while pursuing his Master’s in Social Work (MSW) at the University of Pennsylvania. His vocation to work with people who are homeless led him to California for six years of direct service with individuals and families. This passion and his trusty ’01 Civic brought him to Philadelphia, as he studies to make a greater impact on policy through the leveraging of data. Little did he know that his cross-country drive would be of use in his new internship. Now he regularly goes back on PolicyMap to revisit those places from his cross-country adventure, such as Moab, Cody, Seattle, St. Ignatius, and LaCrosse. Bill received his BA in Psychology at Boston College, with a minor in Faith, Peace and Justice studies. When he is away from his desk, you can usually find Bill on the Ultimate field throwing around a Frisbee.
