Working at The People Lab in HKS has been an enriching experience. The amazing team, expertise, and collaborative spirit have broadened my knowledge in local gov policy in the US and deepened my passion for research and public sector.
Graduate Research Fellow @dsanrv graduates from @Kennedy_School's MPA/ID program on Thursday.
And Undergrad Research Fellow @OdayappanSethu graduates from @Harvard College on Thursday.
Congratulations to Daniela and Sethu and thank you for all you have contributed to TPL!
While I have not yet defined the specific path I will follow, I am sure I will continue my work collaborating local and state governments in order to improve the public services.
One of the highlights of my experience was the opportunity to take classes not only at HKS but also at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, MIT Media Lab and Sloan. These interdisciplinary collaborations broadened my horizons and enriched my understanding of challenges.
So excited we now have a Research Associate position open @HKS_PeopleLab that allows for *remote work* from multiple US states! Please tell your favorite people to apply! https://t.co/6JzCu4YUmG
