Background

About Ingrid Schaefer

Passionate about international relations, policy analysis, and global affairs, I am currently pursuing a degree in Foreign Affairs with a minor in Russian at the University of Virginia. With a strong academic foundation in political thought, human rights, and global studies, I am eager to engage in meaningful discussions and research on international security, diplomacy, and governance. Beyond academics, I have hands-on experience in leadership, research, and community engagement. From serving as a Model United Nations chair and competing at the collegiate level to tutoring young students in English and assisting clients with tax preparation, I thrive in roles that require analytical thinking, communication, and problem-solving. My involvement in student government and advocacy efforts has further fueled my commitment to public service and policy development. Whether organizing events, conducting research, or mentoring others, I am driven by a desire to contribute to impactful initiatives that bridge communities and foster informed decision-making.
