Kailyn is a third-year studying Political Science and History, and is a part of the first cohort of the Applied History certificate. On campus, she is involved in the Student Government Association (SGA) serving as an At-Large Senator representing the whole of the student body, as well as a Student Representative on University Council, a competitor on UGA’s Undergraduate Mock Trial Team, and as a Student Assistant at the UGA’s Hargrett Rare Book and Manuscript Library. This past summer, she was fortunate enough to study abroad with UGA at Oxford University, where she was able to study politics and law in a comparative framework, which she builds on in her research as part of the VIPR Team. Off campus, she has been heavily involved working with Athens-Clarke County Government, both as an intern and a volunteer, and serving the greater Athens community through her work alleviating homelessness and food insecurity with The Backpack Project. She is passionate about connecting with others and serving her fellow students to the best of her ability! After graduation, she plans to attend law school and pursue a career as a constitutional civil rights and liberties attorney.
