While at SYPartners, I participated in a design challenge focused on Global Health Corps (GHC), a nonprofit that develops young leaders in global health in the United States, Eastern and Southern Africa. The challenge was to reimagine their one-year fellowship program.
My team of four identified a key insight: the fellowship supervisor was a critical but often overlooked stakeholder. This individual was responsible for the fellow's entire experience, holding valuable knowledge and expertise that was not being fully utilized.
We designed the “Superduo Kit,” a solution aimed at strengthening the supervisor-fellow relationship to unlock new potential. After presenting our concept to GHC founder Barbara Bush, our team won the challenge.
The prize included attending a fellow retreat in Rwanda and seeing our idea integrated into GHC’s strategy and curriculum.
Shoutout to my awesome teammates who inspire me daily with their strength, passion and intelligence: Leah Delany, Helen Li and Mandisa Mitchell.
