Project Simplify

Project Simplify’s goal is to take complex, politicized topics and sum them up in under ten minutes. My name’s Neha and I’m currently a Junior at CU Boulder studying International Affairs with a certificate in Peace, Conflict and Security Studies! While I started this as a fun hobby, I really found a passion in learning and being able to educate people on what can sometimes be confusing topics.
