As a Senior Program Coordinator, Aleena works with IDEO.org’s US portfolio team to create balance, structure, and clarity in the chaos of everyday life. 

Prior to joining IDEO.org, Aleena interned at Global Health Corps, a leadership development incubator dedicated to fostering the next generation of health leaders. As the Special Events & Projects and Growth & Change Intern, she focused on internal event planning, leadership support, and business development.

Aleena holds a BS in Global Public Health and Biology from New York University. While there, she spent time researching maternal embryonic gene development in Drosophila melanogaster and tobacco cessation trends in the tristate area—that's before finding her footing in social impact.
