About Syna Karnani
Hi! My name is Syna, and I am a freshman at Barnard College of Columbia University, class of 2029. I am fascinated by the way economics can shape everyday life and how public policy can expand or limit opportunity. Majoring in Economics and Mathematics gives me the knowledge to explore those connections, but what excites me most is asking bigger questions, about inclusion, fairness, and the systems we build to govern ourselves.
