Agarwala Pranjal is a first year graduate student at Stevenson University in Maryland, studying forensics. A New York native, Agarwala works with Customs and Border Protection as an Agriculture Specialist. She loves to come to work and interact with thousands of different people from all over the world on daily basis. “I learn so much from them everyday, and some of them have actually been a great influence to me,” she says. Agarwala would like to pursue her career in the forensic field.

When Agarwala thinks about education, she looks up to her brother, who set the academic bar very high for her. She feels that even though success requires hard work, it is well worth it. Agarwala believes that public service makes young people more flexible towards life. “It helps them become a better person as an adult.”
