Katie Annemarie Keil
Student at Northwestern University
I am a fourth-year student at Northwestern University, studying Political Science and Psychology. My passion for research opportunities and hands-on analytic work has led me to conduct numerous independent studies and participate in fellowships across a diverse range of academic interests, including political science, history, journalism, and psychology. Aside from my research, I enjoy skiing, pickleball, and spending time with my two dogs at home in Connecticut. I also earned my private pilot's license in 2020.
