Week #2 Reflection: Leadership in Action
I was first assigned to acquire Andorra's census and boundary data. It was a learning curve in terms of implementing the organizational schemes in places for data cataloging, and the SOP for how information on how each country takes its census should be presented so the process is streamlined and easy for external parties to interpret if needed. My supervisor gave me incredibly insightful feedback on how to better my application of the acquisition procedure and further organize my presentation of census methods for each country.
Based on this feedback, I've worked daily to clarify Armenia's census system and boundary data organization and determine where the missing links were. Based on that, I emailed the National Statistical Office (NSO) with more data requests and hope to hear from them soon. I also completed my share of the MEGA acquisition project. Next week, I hope to make more progress, correspond with Armenia's NSO about their census data, complete the training required for ingest, and keep track of any NSOs I've sent emails to in the past about data requests/permissions.
Hello! My name is Ananya and I am rising junior at Barnard College, majoring in Urban studies, specializing in Environment and Sustainability, with a minor in Architecture.
The world is in a constant state of change. Whether it is the ever-changing nature of sustainable urban design, climate and world events, or new methods of organizing communities in urban spaces. With change comes meaningful action, a step I want to undertake.
Having studied and experienced a multitude of cultures, I have learned a lot about community, and how it forms to bring people together in various contexts. My ongoing degree at Barnard College inspires me to explore the idea of community through urban studies, environmental sustainability, architecture, and design in a multifaceted manner.
I am excited to step out of my comfort zone and adapt to new environments. I am ready to learn a variety of skills to transcend the boundaries of design and community and coalesce them for a more productive and inspiring future.
My research interests include sustainable urban planning/design, and their connections to general local or environmental policy practices across Southeast Asia. My laidlaw research aims to look at neighborhood designation in Singapore and its connection to street/mural art narratives and community representation.
