In 2016 she graduated from Ohio State with a degree in Environment, Economy, Development and Sustainability (EEDS) and a specialization in Environmental Economics and Policy Analysis. After graduating, Kennedy moved to Washington, DC to work as a consultant for LMI, a company which aims to solve government’s toughest problems.

She supports the office’s initiatives in transportation metrics analysis, drafting policy, working to create legislative proposals and general office logistics support.

​”With help from the Anchor Scholarship, I was able to tackle my very first year of college with confidence in my abilities and accomplishments. I now see firsthand how valuable scholarships can be for students working toward a degree; with the aid of grants and scholarships, it is sometimes the only way for students to afford college. I am so thankful for the Anchor Scholarship and all it has helped me achieve so far in my career.”
