Sinthia Shabnam graduated from North Carolina State University in Spring 2020 with a double major in political science and sociology. Now, she works as a legislative fellow for the Poligon National Education Fund, a premier U.S. Muslim-American advocacy organization. Sinthia loves her new job, but getting there wasn’t easy. “I had six different part-time fellowships and internships, many of which at the same time,” she told us, before quickly adding, “But every small experience was a blessing, because everything I did made an impact and contributed to my learning in the long-term.”
