MPhil Development Studies, 2024

Hi, I’m Intan!

I was born and raised in Jakarta, Indonesia.

I graduated from Northern University of Malaysia back in 2020 with a Bachelor’s Degree in International Affairs Management with Honours. Before I began my journey as a student at the University of Oxford, I worked for 3.5 years in the banking industry as a part of the Management Associate Programme, with my last position as a Learning Partner in the HR Learning & Development Division.

I am very interested in global development, particularly from the perspective of education. I look forward to meeting all of you!

MSc Genomic Medicine, 2024

My name is Grant, and I’m an incoming MSc Genomic Medicine student from the United States.

I grew up near Niagara Falls, New York. After finishing my bachelor’s degree in Human Biology and French at the University of Virginia, I earned a Master of Public Health degree there. My research focused on the genetic determinants of susceptibility to neglected tropical diseases, especially among young children with cryptosporidiosis in Bangladesh.

When I’m not studying, you can find me playing jazz trumpet, working on a stand-up comedy routine, or practicing a foreign language. I can’t wait to meet everyone at GTC this year!

Master of Business Administration, 2024

I am an MBA student from India with a background in engineering and nearly a decade of experience in driving transformative change within the education sector. My journey from the classroom to consulting on large-scale education reforms has been fueled by a deep commitment to inclusivity and equity, influenced by my own experiences growing up in a vernacular medium environment. I have dedicated my career to working with marginalized communities and spearheading initiatives that aim to create lasting, systemic impact.

Outside of work, I am passionate about traveling and exploring diverse cultures, finding solace in nature, and spending time with animals. I am on a personal quest to discover the deeper meaning of life through meditation and everyday experiences.
