Biography

Born and raised in Lahore, Pakistan, Amn developed a deep interest in the intersection between women’s rights and public service early on. After earning a bachelor’s degree in economics from the University of Chicago, she worked for the World Bank, where she conducted an impact evaluation of a community engagement intervention to improve school outcomes in rural Sindh. Prior to graduate school, Amn worked with the Office of the Chief Minister of Punjab, focusing on improving service delivery in several sectors, including education, health, water and solid waste management. Here she worked with senior bureaucrats and government officials to design and implement interventions and monitoring mechanisms to improve maternal and child nutrition and to set up a roadmap to provide clean drinking water to a population of 100 million people in the province. This past summer, Amn interned with IDinsight in Zambia, where she developed a monitoring and evaluation framework for the Ministry of Community Development’s cash transfer program and also modeled the cost-effectiveness and feasibility of new work streams for one of the organization's largest clients. After completing her MPA at the Woodrow Wilson School, Amn hopes to continue working with governments of developing countries, using evidence to inform policy.
