Founder at Elab, Parsons

Surabhi was one of my well-performing students in the MS Strategic Design and Management program at Parsons and also helped on a research project at the Elab. 

 

She is a terrific team member, executes on time, and had a good handle on the design process. I highly recommend her and wish her luck.

Surabhi applied to the CCI responding to a call for volunteers to work with the artisanal sector in India during the pandemic 2020.

 

She worked with us on two fronts; communication strategy and connecting directly with artisans in need. Surabhi is a pleasant, well-mannered and sincere teammate and indeed it was a pleasure to interacting with her.
