Testimonials

    I worked with Kareena for a little over two years while she served as my teaching assistant. During that time, she played a key role in helping manage exams for large undergraduate classes and consistently demonstrated reliability and diligence. I could always count on her to complete tasks thoroughly and on time, and she was willing to go the extra mile whenever needed. Kareena worked very well as part of a team with other TAs and contributed positively to a collaborative and professional teaching environment. She would be an asset in any academic or educational role.

    Working with Kareena at Change Initiative has been incredibly rewarding. She is empathetic, thoughtful, and always willing to guide others through complex problems with patience and clarity. Her strategic mindset consistently strengthens our projects and helps the team see opportunities we would have missed. I have learned a great deal from her, not only about the work itself, but about how to lead with kindness and purpose.
