As a lifelong Washingtonian, Bailee always had an interest in news, politics, and policy. After an internship with Medco Health Solutions out of college and a position with Express Scripts, she found her niche. The recent changes to health care policy through the Affordable Care Act and widespread focus on the issue have 
further developed her passion. In her current role as a Health Policy Analyst at UnitedHealth Group, Bailee focuses on health care reform, pharmacy and prescription policy, Medicare and Medicaid modernization, federal and state budgetary politics, and presidential candidate health care platforms.
Although her career is in policy, Bailee chose to pursue an MBA at George Washington University to diversify her skill set. “Working in a corporate environment, I wanted to understand how companies operate and how they’re impacted by public policy decisions,” says Bailee. She continued, “the Bryce Harlow Fellowship is a perfect match for me, as I was insistent on working full-time and continuing to gain professional experience while going to grad school.” Bailee is grateful for the many benefits of the fellowship including the networking, mentorship, and financial assistance.
