Bio
Lucía Díaz-Martin
Ahana was a wonderful colleague who truly added value to J-PAL during her time as a summer intern. She is a thoughtful, motivated learner who always asked the right questions to go above and beyond to get the job done. She was also incredibly responsible, reliable, and organized. She worked on a range of projects, including analyzing survey data using Stata, conducting high quality desk research, and helping to organize a large and high pressure 3-week-long event. Not only did her work always consist of reliably good output, but she also grew to be a well-regarded team member. I look forward to seeing how Ahana develops professionally and am confident she will add value to any future organization.

Ahana is keen learner and a positive thinker. Her ability to grasp the subject and ask the right questions makes her an asset to the team. Her networking abilities and knack of finding a subject to speak to anyone adds to her learning and development abilities. Her conduct and understanding of corporate culture and working is beyond her age and quite commendable. She brings positivity to the team and I am sure she would be an asset anywhere she works. I wish her all the success for future endeavours.
