This summer, Local Return is thrilled to have on our team two Learning Fellows through the Swearer Center at Brown University. Kiera Walsh and Kritika Shrivastava are working with us to mine research and data around community wealth, investment ecosystems, and economic self-reliance. They’re enthusiastic and diligent scholars, passionate about our future. Please welcome Kritika and Kiera!
Hi, I am Kritika Shrivastava. My hometown is Jaipur, India and I am studying Economics on the Business track along with IAPA (International and Public Affairs). My favourite thing about being a Brown student is interacting with so many unique, cool and interesting individuals and learning from them. For fun, I love to try new food, swim, read historical fiction and do South Asian Classical dance. I am also an amateur astrophotographer. I am Kiera Walsh. I’m a junior at Brown University, and I’m originally from Woburn, MA. My favorite thing about Brown is the amazing atmosphere and being surrounded by a great community where I have learned and grown so much. For fun I like to embroider, make clothes, and cook waffles. I’m studying Computer Science and Behavioral Decision Sciences.
