Sarah Bryant

Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, Sarah completed her undergraduate degree in international politics and Latin American studies at Georgetown University. Before graduate school, she worked for a D.C.-based global strategic advisory firm, where she researched political and economic trends in northern Latin America to provide market risk guidance to corporate clients and advance U.S. commercial diplomacy. Past experience as a research assistant for a database on Latin American institutions and as an intern at a refugee resettlement nonprofit affirmed her passion for public service, migration policy, and Western Hemisphere affairs. After her first year at SPIA, she joined the World Bank's Social Protection and Labor Global Practice to support a grant program on digital social protection and develop practice-wide portfolio and strategy documents. In her free time, Sarah enjoys running, trying new recipes, and collecting houseplants.
