About

---

Hello! My name is Kyle Gerstel and I am studying economics at Stanford University. I enjoy leading teams, writing, and trying to make the world a better place.

This summer, I was a research assistant for Stanford's Bill Lane Center for the American West, investigating the economics of space colonization. At Stanford, I am the president of Stanford Students in Entertainment and the musical comedy group Fleet Street. I am also a researcher for the Stanford Entertainment Lab and I have organized various entrepreneurship programs on campus through Stanford ASES.

Before college, I was a proud theatre kid. I also served on editorial boards at The Islander and TeenTix, provided insights on young adults' political participation for The New York Times, published national award-winning writing as a Teen Journalism Fellow at 70 Faces Media, and worked with the Participatory Budgeting Project to allocate $27 million in public spending.
