4. This past year, as Project Manager
of the Idea Translation Lab in
Cape Town, I led and designed
Harvard’s first experiential education
and design fellowship program in
Cape Town, South Africa, where I
developed partnerships with local
engineers, designers, artists, and
entrepreneurs to collaborate on
human-centered design projects
with our students. I also created and
taught curriculum on user research
and project design, and thrived on
my ability and independence to
shape this project, and the
transformative experiences of my
students in such a creative
international environment.
