Patricia Kahill
Leadership is critical to the fortunes of any country because it not only shapes culture, but also determines the allocation of scarce resources, that in the end have serious implications on the collective fortunes of a people. My application for the YELP Fellowship was motivated by a desire to learn on how I can be a better leader in my own society. As an educated young woman, I realize I occupy a privileged position in society, which I need to recognize and meaningfully utilize by positively impacting others.
