Bio
Shannon Baker-Branstetter
It was a pleasure to supervise Matt and to work along side him during his time at Dream Corps. Matt has a great sense of humor and a sharp wit and is an incredibly hard worker. Matt can zoom in and out of policy and politics to understand both the minutiae and the big picture and does wonderful fantastic work with humility. I could always rely on Matt to follow through on any task, ask great questions, present complex material with aplomb, and brainstorm on the best way to approach a campaign, project, or written materials. He's a great writer and editor and gives constructive and thoughtful feedback to make projects and Hill outreach a success. I really enjoyed collaborating with him and would recommend him for a wide variety of policy and political roles.

Matthew is an asset to any group he is in. He has a sharp policy brain with a go-getter attitude. He is often found cheering on his teammates and providing valuable analysis to breaking news items. And he can read and digest dense policy documents faster than anyone I've encountered!
