Maleeka is wrapping up her first year at YaleNUS College in Singapore. She has had a consistent passion for Economics and Politics which she has demonstrated with her internships, projects, and involvement in school. We had a conversation with her about her experiences as a first-generation student in a liberal arts university, the crazy achievements she had in her gap year (she was a radio personality too!) and the problems that she is interested in solving through her work. We have always admired Maleeka’s perseverance and we were extremely proud to have her on our podcast!
