Luke graduated summa cum laude from The George Washington University in 2022, with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. His undergraduate capstone project dealt with the effects of religion on voter choice during the 2000 Presidential election. During his time at The George Washington University, he worked in a congressional office and for a political consulting firm, as well as in a student-run think tank producing research on topics relating to student government and campus life. In taking part in this program, Luke hopes to pursue research in the field of economic history, with a tentative focus on the Early Modern Atlantic and New York's connection to the slave trade. Luke also has a passion for film, film studies, and film criticism; he was an invitee to the 2021 Cannes Film Festival.
