  1. Good afternoon Ms. Arrowood,

    My name is Sophia Desai. I am a current senior at UNC Chapel Hill studying public policy. Myself as well as my peers CC’d to this email, Jordanne Arace, Michelle Breit, Sophia Desai and Elizabeth Norris are currently enrolled in our senior Capstone in Public Policy course. The course, in its entirety, is focused on an in-depth group research project in which students apply knowledge and skills gained in the major to a real-world policy problem.

    Our team is working alongside WomenNC, a non-profit organization focused on fighting for gender equality in North Carolina. Our research focuses on identifying the causes and prevalence of human trafficking in North Carolina with a mission of providing policy recommendations to WomenNC. More specifically, our research works to investigate why education prevention is the best policy approach to human trafficking in North Carolina and how it can be best implemented in the state.

    As a part of our research, we hope to gain a qualitative insight to the nature of human trafficking in North Carolina by interviewing experienced professionals involved in the field. Your expertise surrounding human trafficking would be invaluable to our team’s work this semester, and we hope that you would be open and available to participate in an interview for our team’s research. If you are interested, we would love to conduct an interview with you to discuss your view on special issues within human trafficking and therefore increase the qualitative information that we have available.

    Ava Smith, the Head of Growth and Development at WomenNC has been a helpful resource and close contact of ours at WomenNC that we have been working with this semester. Should you have any logistical questions regarding our team’s research please feel free to inquire about these concerns with Ms. Smith.

    We look forward to hearing back from you and sincerely hope you consider the opportunity to contribute to the research of our team. Research surrounding education prevention programs is incredibly prevalent and important and can help to defeat the issue of human trafficking in North Carolina. Should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us.

    Best regards,

    Jordanne Arace, Grace Berry, Michelle Breit, Sophia Desai, and Elizabeth Norris
