Haleigh McNinch is a junior pursuing a degree in International relations and global studies, with a concentration in Science, Technology and the Environment, and a regional focus on Asia. She is also pursuing minors in Government and Korean.
She studied abroad this past summer, where she had the opportunity to visit several international organizations in Brussels and Paris. There, she learned firsthand how the organizations address cyber threats on a daily basis. She also took a class on technological sovereignty in the spring, where she earned the importance of cyberspace in international relations. Both experiences sparked her interest in joining the program.
In her free time, she enjoys spending time outdoors and with friends. She is excited about the opportunity to participate in the program and connect her academic studies with hands-on experience by supporting small businesses and nonprofit organizations.
