This fellowship has been incredibly valuable in shaping my future goals. Prior to my time at BEAM, I very little exposure to the experiences of Burmese migrants in Thailand and also to the political situation in Myanmar. Working with such passionate coworkers and students has inspired me to reconsider my future career plans and I hope to continue working in a similar space to BEAM.

I have also noticed growth in my confidence both professionally and personally. Overall, this fellowship has been a life changing experience and has provided many opportunities for learning and new perspectives.
