"In the aftermath of the 2016 election, I took a hard look at what I was doing with my time and where I saw my best avenues for making change. I started as an intern for then-Senator Claire McCaskill's campaign for reelection, and after I graduated from the University of Washington in 2018, I worked as a field organizer for the…

“I grew up in rural Alabama on a cattle ranch in a town of, at the time, 409 people. Living in a rural area, it's virtually impossible to access healthcare. It would be months before I could see my doctor sometimes; if I needed to see a specialist, I’d have to travel an hour and a half away to Birmingham. I realized how unfair…

“My first book, “Hands for Language,” was about my experience as a daughter of immigrants growing up in America and my identity as a woman of color. I grew up speaking Malayalam as my first language, and I think that set me on a path to have a strong sense of cultural appreciation. My family is from a state called Kerala, where…

“My parents instilled in me the value of giving back to the community, not just in our home but also through our church. I was born in Trenton and saw some of the issues that are fairly normal in an inner city, a lot involving poverty. The symptoms include homelessness and food insecurity, but a lot of it stems from economic…

“My foundational years were during a time when Brexit was the presiding issue of everything in the UK. This issue dominated the news throughout those years when I was starting to develop an interest in public and international affairs and find the grounds for my ideology. Scottish independence influenced my views and my…

“Going to school in Silicon Valley, I was constantly exposed to themes about democracy and technology. I always planned on going into the federal government, but after graduating from @Stanford, I did a huge 180 and ended up at a think tank where we did research on technology, journalism, and freedom of expression. I then spent…

“I’m intuition oriented, curious, and driven to understand the world around me. In 2nd grade, I was asked to write a short story but instead wrote a research book on underwater animals complete with citations. Not much has changed since. I’m also drawn to decision-making and how everyone’s personal experiences shape their…

“When I first learned about climate change in high school, I couldn’t understand why so little had been done. The solution seemed simple enough: We all need clean air and clean water, and, to get there, we need clean energy. But the barriers were in the policy. I studied environmental economics and policy at the University of…

“I think it's very natural to have an interest in public policy when you are from a very unequal country, and growing up in São Paulo, Brazil, inequality is part of daily life. I think I was always searching for a career that would allow me to have an impact on reducing inequalities. Prior to @Princeton, I worked for the São…

“Growing up as part of a mixed-status family in Santa Ana, there were a lot of ICE raids in Southern California, and there were regular demonstrations as people were getting deported. Because my community is a low-income, predominantly Hispanic community, there are not a lot of opportunities to leave. I was able to go to the…
