Hello! My name is Arianne Noorestani and I will be an Editorial Intern for Memunatu this summer. I am currently an Environmental Studies major at The George Washington University. At GW, I am one of the program directors for the South Asian Society and a staff writer for The Hatchet. Off campus, you can usually find me at an art museum or sipping coffee at Baked and Wired. In the future, I hope to focus my career on sustainable development and conservation in Africa. By working with the Memunatu team, I aim to expand my knowledge on the challenges faced by girls in West Africa. Most importantly, I want to empower these young women so that together we can make a positive difference in the world.
