" I do this work because I've seen what happens when students are handed systems they're expected to navigate, without ever being shown the map. I'm excited to be a Millennium Fellow as it presents a chance to turn that lived confusion into a replicable model; one that makes business, finance, and governance more accessible, human, and ours to improve. "
