Background

About Austin Bennett

I possess a background in geopolitical analysis, international disaster assistance relief, and civic engagement. My academic and professional journey has been focused on issues surrounding refugees, diplomacy, and conflict studies. I have extensive experience working with refugee education, reporting on international crises, and advancing community development initiatives. I hold a Master's in International Affairs and Leadership from Arizona State University, where I developed a deep understanding of global governance, conflict resolution, and leadership in complex environments. Prior to that, I earned a Bachelor's in Social Sciences with a minor in Political Science from Towson University, where I began building a strong foundation in political and social issues. I also studied abroad in Oslo, Norway. Through my work in both non-profit and government, I have honed my ability to assess international crises, design impactful programs, and engage with diverse communities. I am committed to leveraging my expertise to address humanitarian needs, foster diplomacy, and contribute to sustainable solutions.
