Claire Kiel

San Antonio,TX

Summary

Ambitious high school student passionate about government, international relations, and cross cultural communication. Actively building a foundation in public service by engaging in my community, taking on leadership roles, participating in academic programs, and meeting with various government officials to discuss the issues that matter the most. Currently strengthening my global competency by learning Russian as it is a critical language and is helpful for work in diplomacy and intelligence roles. This commitment reflects my desire to contribute meaningfully to international dialogue and policy work.

Qualifications for government roles include selection for academic programs focusing on international relations, meetings with senators, observations of foreign relation senate hearings in Washington DC, and ongoing efforts to develop a UNICEF club for San Antonio.
