Week #4 Reflection: Leadership in Action
This week I continued to work on boundary ingest for different countries, and worked on documentation for Peru and Tonga in terms of how the adjusted versus the ingested boundaries compared. I also worked on following up with different countries' acquisitions for any updates. With the boundary ingest workshop, I was assigned to Andorra and I am now working on an ingest workbook for the census data. I was able to confirm the results of my documentation for Peru and Tonga's boundary adjustments. After resolving many tech issues with my remote desktop which impacted my ability to run an ingest check on the data workbook, I was able to resolve those issues and send in my ingest workbook for review. I also worked on looking at satellite images for inhabited areas and natural areas for the GRID3 project team and followed up with countries I've been assigned to do acquisitions.
I am hoping to finalize my documentation for both Peru and Tonga, finalize Andorra's ingest procedures, and tie up any other country acquisition work I've been assigned to in the past few weeks. I also hope to continue/finish acquisition for my new assignments, work on any boundary adjustments from our discussion in the GPW development meeting, and as always, follow up with any countries that I have followed up with within the past few weeks.
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.
