Dear Prabhleen Kaur Ji,
This week’s 2019 SikhLEAD Summer Internship Spotlight features Meher Kaur! Meher interned with the Center for Global Development. Here is what she had to say about her SikhLEAD Experience:
My name is Meher Kaur, I am studying at the University of Richmond in Virginia.
How has your internship helped you?
I know I had an interest in global development but I wasn’t sure if I wanted to take the path of research or the path of policy. This experience really gave me the chance to do some data analytics research looking at global connectivity and I think it really helped me clarify that I wanted to do research in the future.
How does being Sikh tie into your interests?
Growing up as a Sikh American really laid the foundation for my interests in human rights and combining that with my international perspective I think everyone has the right to all civil and human rights.
