A graduate of the Georgia Institute of Technology where she studied International Affairs and Public Policy, Ruth enjoys cheering on the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets during football season (OK, I’m also a fan of the Florida Gators!), going on weekend trips to Washington D.C. for policy conferences (call me a nerd), traveling to India to participate in her cousins’ week-long wedding celebrations (yes, “Outsourced” is actually an accurate portrayal of Indian culture!), and taking lots of pictures at all of the above.

Ruth lives in Atlanta, Georgia and is an active member of her church.
