Tarini Goyal is pursuing a master’s degree in business analytics at The University of Texas at Dallas. In 2022, she graduated with a bachelor’s degree in economics from Shri Ram College of Commerce, one of India’s premier institutions. Goyal has played chess at the international level for 10+ years and is a member of the UT Dallas chess team. The roadblocks she and her peers faced at different stages of their lives prompted her to work toward the betterment of society. Goyal has worked with organizations such as FSG Social Impact Consulting and the United Nations Development Programme on projects to create jobs for people belonging to disadvantaged groups. Her future goal is to identify and overcome challenges faced by women in different industries. She hopes that the Archer Fellowship will prepare her to create meaningful change at a broader level.
