Megha Agarwal
School: WhartonHometown: San Francisco, CAPolicy Interest: Innovation and Technology PolicyWhat unique opportunities has the Public Policy Research Scholars program afforded you?
“When I made the decision to spend a summer in Washington, D.C., I was apprehensive. An internship at the White House and work in the public sector did not fit into my plan of entering the corporate world. As it turns out, stepping out of my self-imposed comfort zone was one of the best decisions I could have made.”
