Neena graduated in May 2017 from Georgetown University with a B.S. in Global Health. She spent a semester in Ghana conducting research for her thesis on risk factors for youth suicidal behaviors. She has additional research experience working with a Georgetown team to conduct a systematic review of the health of transwomen sex workers in the United States. Neena has interned at the World Bank, where she wrote blog posts discussing health issues in Africa, as well as USAID’s Evidence to Action Project, where she conducted literature reviews on youth mental health and male engagement in gender equity. Her other internship experiences include educating patients about nutrition at a federally qualified health center and supporting participants of a domestic violence shelter. At Georgetown, Neena was involved in GU Medical Brigades, a group that assists doctors to provide medical services to a rural community in Honduras, as well as GIVES, an organization that implements random acts of kindness. As outreach director for both organizations, she coordinated over fifty community service events for members. She is looking forward to exploring Kenya and pursuing her passions for service and international development during her fellowship with the BOMA Project.
