<p>Fati first learned about the <a href="https://www.sps.nyu.edu/about/academic-divisions-and-departments/schack-institute-of-real-estate/nyu-sps-hirsh-fellows-program.html">Hirsh Fellows Program</a> during her application process. She describes the application process as “direct and transparent”--one that provided a welcome introduction to the community she now feels deeply connected to. From industry exposure to mentorship, the fellowship has expanded her understanding of what’s possible in her career. This spring, Fati will participate in the Brazil Global Field Intensive (GFI), an experience she eagerly anticipates. </p>
<p>She’s particularly interested in seeing how cultural context, community needs, and environmental factors shape development abroad. “I’m looking forward to learning and experiencing real estate in a different country,” says Fati. “Understanding how the built environment informs what can and cannot be built is something I’m excited to explore.”</p>
