On the inaugural episode of A. Gilman Podcast, 2017 Gilman Scholar Shriya Bhattacharya introduces us to her adventures in Brussels, Belgium, and how her experiences abroad led her to land her dream post-graduation job at the United Nations Foundation.
Shriya Bhattacharya is an Indian-American former Gilman Scholarship alumna (Belgium, 2017), who now works in Washington D.C at the United Nations Foundation as the Coordinator of the Universal Access Project. She is also a health and politics writer for Brown Girl Magazine, the first-ever global multimedia publication dedicated to South Asian self-expression and dialogue. She has also been published in Teen Vogue and Ms. Magazine and her reporting interests include women's health, youth activism, and immigrant rights.
