If you or someone you know are interested in an internship with Sycamore, please visit SycamoreInstituteTN.org/jobs. Applications for Fall 2024 internships are due June 28. Now, let’s meet Malini!
Name: Malini Boorgu
School: Brandeis University
Major: B.S. in Health Policy and B.A. in Business Administration
Hometown: Brentwood, TN
Why did you want to intern at the Sycamore Institute?
The Sycamore Institute stood out to me because it provides digestible research and analysis of complex issues from a position of neutrality intended to create positive change that is not from a place of bias. I believe an experience at the Sycamore Institute will allow me to grow both professionally and personally as I will be able to spend my summer around like-minded professionals participating in real research processes to create a better Nashville.
Where do you want to be in 15 years?
Although it is a broad statement, in 15 years I simply want to be somewhere I can create positive change. Currently, I am unsure what specifically that means for me, I know that my experience at The Sycamore Institute will help guide me onto the right path.
What are your interests and activities outside of school?
Outside of school/work, I enjoy doing arts and crafts projects. I recently have become interested in upcycling, but have enjoyed many other art forms like embroidery, resin craft, painting, woodburning, quilling, etc.
Tell us a fun fact about yourself!
A fun fact about myself is that I can wiggle my ears!
