General Information

About Smita:	I recently graduated with a B.A. in Mathematical Economic Analysis and Policy Studies from Rice University. I spent the last 6 months in India conducting a feasibility study and labor market study to address the class discrimination and market imperfections of the domestic worker-employer relationship. I'm currently looking for funding for a nonprofit there and working on the analysis of my data, but I'm anxious about improving my financial and analytical tool set to become a greater asset to the world and myself.
Networks:	Tallahassee, United States
What kind of positive change do you want to create in the world over the next 12 months?:	Encourage efficient nonprofit solutions; Fight inhibiting social/cultural norms; Empower women; Become a stronger tool for development!
