Lindsay Kim

I am a caseworker, legislative & research assistant, and freelance student journalist working to advocate for the unheard, shed light on hidden issues, and drive the narrative toward justice, equity, and truth.

I've always been interested in global affairs. With my bachelor's degree from the University of Washington, my studies have focused on International Affairs, Public Policy, Journalism and Public Interest, and Digital Arts and Media, with an emphasis on the geopolitics, migration, and humanitarian policies stemming from my love of reading and analyzing the stories that have shaped our world.

In my second year in college, I worked as a legislative assistant at the Korean National Assembly, assisting National Finance, National Information, and Special Committees on Political Reform, and the overarching question from public officials was always, "How can we better engage with those we are serving?" Researching national bonds and economic policies in Europe, North America, and East Asia improved my understanding of how policies affect society. My work on policy reform for migrant workers showed me the real human impact of international systems, making me acutely aware of the people with unique needs and goals behind every legal framework. This insight has strengthened my resolve to pursue a Global Policy, where I hope to help create international frameworks that better support marginalized and displaced families.

Post-graduation, I aim to further my Global and Public Affairs studies and contribute to organizations prioritizing inclusive and impactful community engagement, leadership development, and global discourse. As much as I love what I do now, my desire to research, analyze, and address the gap between fast-changing global issues and outdated legal frameworks to ensure policy reforms align with international standards, particularly in developing regions, is my true path.
