Hello again!
Some more about me: I love cats. Also, I'm a dual American & Canadian citizen, hailing from Troy, Michigan.
I am currently the Communications Manager and a Research Fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. I consider myself exceptionally lucky to say I love my job.
I was the 2025 Head Delegate of the USA delegation
to the Y20 in South Africa, a platform within the G20 framework that empowers youth from across G20 member states to engage in dialogue, share innovative ideas, and propose solutions to critical global challenges.
In 2024, I completed a Masters of Advanced Studies in International Affairs
at the University of California, San Diego, where my regional focus was Southeast Asia
and my career track was Security of the Asia-Pacific.
Through the Young Professionals in Foreign Policy Rising Experts
program, I was the 2023 Economics Expert. Once a month, I wrote op-eds about current economic affairs. You can find those here.
Through my undergraduate program, I studied economics & political science with a focus on European-Asian relations
at Sciences Po's Le Havre campus
in the region of Normandy, France for two years. I completed the the program with two years in Vancouver, Canada, at the University of British Columbia Sauder School of Business, where I specialized in marketing. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in economics & a Bachelor of Commerce with Honours in marketing.
Also, I like to cook. Check out my just-for-fun Instagram @kitchanjali.
