Amanda Koonjbeharry: How setting boundaries can elevate your career and why nurturing connections enhances policy work

Amanda Koonjbeharry has an impressive résumé of social work. Currently she is the Director of Public Policy for the Citizens League of Minnesota.

She holds two Master's degrees (Social Work &amp; Public Policy) and a Bachelor's degree (Family Social Science) from the University of Minnesota.
