Join us for an informal event to meet and learn from Pui Shen Yoong, a Senior Economist at the World Bank in Washington DC. Shen has spent a decade at the World Bank, covering various countries across Asia (Maldives, Indonesia and her native Malaysia) and Latin America (Brazil, Uruguay and Paraguay).
She holds a Bachelor’s in International Politics and Economics from Middlebury College (‘12) and a Master’s in International Economics from the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (‘17). This will be a good opportunity to explore what careers in multilateral organizations such as the World Bank could look like and to ask questions. This is not a formal recruiting event.
