Vanny Meitasari is currently pursuing a masters in public policy at the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy. Vanny has a clear goal in mind: designing equitable policies that empower communities and combat poverty through Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprise (MSME) development. After watching her mother open a small shop to support her family, Vanny became inspired to build a stronger economic ecosystem driven by MSMEs. “I could have chosen to give up on higher education. But through the power of public policy, I firmly believe that I can not only protect the people I love most, but also help many others rise from poverty — starting with MSMEs.” CEW+ commends Vanny’s commitment to designing policy that combats poverty and names her a Margaret Dow Towsley Scholar.
