She plans to pursue these questions further during her time at the Dahdaleh Institute for Global Health Research.
Sifat received her Master's degree in Public Policy from UCI. As a Master's student she conducted research on transitional justice and reconciliation within the Bangladeshi diaspora of Los Angeles. She has experience working with various local nonprofits and international NGO’s. It is during her time with these organizations that her interest in humanitarian work and public policy formalized.
