OUTSIDE
WESLEYAN:
|
The past two
summers, I've spent a
significant amount of time in
India, doing research on
Microfinance at the Institute of
South Asian Studies, Singapore.
I've also interned with the
Institute of Policy Studies at
the Lee Kuan Yew School of
Public Policy, Singapore,
undertaking research on Creative
Industries in South East Asia.
In addition, I am a member of
the United World College
National Committee in Singapore
and volunteer at the Singapore
Indian Development Association
and with the Initiative for
Peace: Focus on Kashmir and Sri
Lanka programmes. I am
also in the reserve corps of the
Singapore Air Force. |
AFTER
WESLEYAN:
|
I am interested in starting off
in the Finance Industry, before
moving on to graduate school to
study Development Economics.
I then intend to focus on
development and public policy in
South and South-East Asia,
particularly in the areas of
Microfinance and other rural
banking initiatives. I would
also like to pursue my passion
for South Indian music that I
have cultivated at Wesleyan, by
taking further voice lessons
after college. |
