Katie Annemarie Keil
Student at Northwestern University
I am a third-year student at Northwestern University, studying Political Science and Psychology with a minor in History (Concentration: United States). I plan to pursue a postgraduate career focusing on political psychology, exploring the relationship between personality dynamics and socio-political behavior. My passion for research opportunities and hands-on analytic work has led me to conduct independent studies and participate in fellowships across a diverse range of academic interests, ranging from history to psychology.
