I’m Sara Sultani, currently studying Public Health at Brown University. I will be working on the research project “Strategizing Solutions to End Youth Homelessness in Rhode Island”. As a public health student deeply committed to addressing complex societal issues such as health disparities, I am particularly interested in addressing the challenges of youth homelessness. This scholarship provides me with a fantastic opportunity to develop my leadership skills and engage in meaningful research. I'm eager to connect with fellow scholars and explore how we can make a positive impact through our projects and leadership development.

Outside of my studies, my experience as an activity leader at the Cambridge Arts, Technology & Science Academy with students from different parts of the world enhanced my ability to create inclusive spaces, which is crucial for addressing the needs of marginalized youth. 

In addition to my academic and practical experiences, I am committed to fully engaging with all aspects of my summer project. I value consistent participation and aim to make a meaningful impact through my involvement, ensuring that my work contributes to the project's goals and aligns with the core values of community service and inclusivity.

I am eager to contribute to and learn from the Laidlaw Network, bringing my analytical skills, cultural competency, and steadfast commitment to improving public health and promoting social justice.
