Connie Kwong graduated from UC Davis, where she double-majored in economics and international relations and minored in history. During college, she applied her interest in public policy by participating in student government, writing for Davis Political Review, and working at the UC Davis Policy Institute for Energy, Environment, and the Economy. Most recently, she interned for the UC Davis Student Affairs Marketing and Communications office, where she gained insight on sociopolitical factors affecting student success in college. As an aspiring social scientist, she is excited to both learn about and help make a difference in the American education landscape.
