Hello, my name is Angel Puder. I earned a Bachelor of Art in Political Science and African and African American Studies from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I currently serve as an AmeriCorps VISTA for the Fifth Ward Community Redevelopment Corporation in Houston, TX.

I will be attending Cornell University's Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy this Fall for a Master of Public Administration.  

I plan to use what I learned about public policy, the African American experience, and political communication to build a career in addressing food security within low-income and minority communities.
