BRAC USA Program Associate: Sherie Gertler

As a Masters student at Stanford University in 2008, I became familiar with BRAC's holistic, grassroots development approach and, specifically, the start of their work in Africa. After graduating from Stanford, I took a job with a small non-profit working in a refugee camp in Zambia, near the border of Congo.

Upon my return to New York this past fall, I began interning for BRAC, an organization I sought out because of its real and significant impact on the world's poorest populations. Now in my 5th month as part of the BRAC USA team, I am thrilled to be engaged with BRAC programs and staff across Africa and Asia, working with such an inspiring group of people.
