Saisha Puri ’25

Degree: B.S. in Policy Analysis and Management

Saisha Puri grew up in New York City, where she developed a passion for community service, volunteering with community-based organizations, and later serving as an intern in the Manhattan Borough President’s Office. Those experiences exposed Saisha to the world of public policy and led her to apply to the Policy Analysis and Management degree program at the Brooks School.

At Brooks, Saisha found a curriculum that balanced quantitative analysis with qualitative research disciplines and emphasized engaged learning opportunities that connected to her passion for community service.

Since graduation, Saisha has returned to an internship she began last summer as a Wealth Management Rotational Analyst at Morgan Stanley in New York City, where she will leverage the analytical skills she gained from studying public policy to build a career that enables her to have a positive social impact within the private sector.

Studying Public Policy at the Brooks School

Note: In March 2023, the Brooks School introduced the Public Policy major. All students entering the school after that date were enrolled in the Public Policy major rather than the Policy Analysis and Management major.

Are you ready to understand and address the complex challenges facing society today? The Brooks School offers an interdisciplinary undergraduate major in Public Policy that prepares you to develop, implement, and evaluate solutions that improve people’s lives.
