Meher Sharma is a student at the Kings School, Canterbury where she studies the A level curriculum and has a particular affinity for Mathematics, Economics and History. 

She also often engages in independent reading and research on topics ranging from contemporary human rights news to international law and is constantly seeking to expand her understanding of sociopolitical structures and their myriad manifestations particularly in the domain of labor law. This interest has found its home in her participation in international essay writing competitions where she invariably adopts a legal lens to investigate the topic at hand. 

When not preoccupied with her academics, Meher can be found practicing her piano and singing skills, or engaging in on-ground work as part of her school’s Law and Debating Society. She’s also got quite the athletic bend and has previously served as a valued member of her previous school’s football team!

On the outside-of-school academics and practical side of things, Meher has researched a paper examining the impact of the #MeToo Movement on legal frameworks for the protection of women in workplaces across the United States. She has also completed an internship at Shadul Amarchand Mangaldas & Co, a prominent law firm in New Delhi, India that is known for its work in public interest, dispute resolution and human rights laws. Motivated by her belief that legal rights should be understood, not just guaranteed, Meher founded LEAN.in to bridge gaps in legal awareness and empower more women to truly (lean in)to opportunities, advocacy, and justice.
