Dan Brown
Miami University
Born and raised in Dayton, Ohio, Dan Brown is a recent graduate from Miami University with an undergraduate degree in Public Administration. Dan selected the Office of Budget and Evaluation to obtain background knowledge in the public budgeting process after a spiked interest from his undergraduate curriculum. Dan hopes to apply his education and experience with the City of Cincinnati toward a career of public service. His hope is to better understand the daily functions of local government and to be able to narrow his desires between public, private, and not-for-profit employment. Time spent with the City’s Budget office will undoubtedly help steer Dan’s broad interests into a more narrow and rewarding career path.
