Prakriti Shakya

A graduate student studying International and Development Economics at the University of San Francisco. I’m passionate about natural disasters, poverty traps, mental health, children and family dynamics and using data analysis and technology to take data-driven steps towards poverty alleviation. I have an undergraduate degree in Business and Management specializing in Finance from the University of the West of England, however after a year of exploration, I decided to commit to grad school in Development Economics. I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to intern at Frost & Sullivan, Daayitwa, UNICEF ROSA, and Rahat in different capacities. My interests lies in research, analysis, design, and project planning. Besides that, I like creating videos. And a big fan of learning new languages.
