By Nathan Hertzberg, NLIHC Research Intern
NLIHC is pleased to welcome Nathan Hertzberg as a Summer 2026 Research intern. Nathan is a rising junior at Duke University studying statistics and history. In his free time, he enjoys reading, weightlifting, and skiing. His interest in research methods stems from his statistics coursework and his work as a research assistant in Duke's economics department. He has also worked with the NC Public School Forum through Duke's Data+ program, researching education policy and community school programs across the country. Nathan's involvement in organizing at Duke and throughout the Durham community sparked his interest in housing security and affordability. He looks forward to contributing to the NLIHC's research while combining his interests in data analysis and advocacy. Through his internship, he hopes to deepen his understanding of how technical and statistical information can be communicated in ways that are accessible and useful to housing advocates, policymakers, and NLIHC's partners.
