In the summer of 2017, Sarah worked as an undergraduate policy intern at The Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL Global) at MIT, where she contributed to J-PAL’s policy team’s mission to analyze and disseminate research results to ensure policy is driven by scientific evidence. Sarah spent her junior year at the London School of Economics and Political Science where she concentrated on the intersection between economic and statistical analysis and public policy. On campus, she has been a Student Orientation Coordinator, and is currently a first-year mentor for the Wellesley Plus program and an active member of the Wellesley African Student Association. Aside from English, she is fluent in Swahili and has working knowledge of French. Upon graduation, Sarah hopes to employ her skills in economic and statistical analysis to shape the international development agenda and public policy.
