A Busy Summer with Incredible Interns
We are thrilled to share more about Agency’s four summer interns!

Prior to graduate school, Aanchal led the DE&I team and strategy for BCG in Australia and New Zealand and was a management consultant, working with public sector clients on disaster recovery, workforce strategies, and economic development. These experiences have informed Aanchal’s interest in how urban planning can contribute to more equitable and inclusive workplace experiences, which complement her interests in understanding how cities are shaped by changing work practices. Outside of the office, Aanchal enjoys running (especially at the local Park Run) and finding delicious coffee and baked treats afterwards.
