CLARE LARSEN

A California native, Clare is a senior at Columbia University, studies Political Science and Visual Arts and is the captain of their swim team. She is particularly interested in the intense (and often unmentioned) intersectionality among humanitarian issues. During her time as a research and writing intern at a small journal, Clare got a taste of just how much she, and many others, didn’t know about international issues and global policy. This sparked her interest in investigative journalism and international politics surrounding environmental issues. She hopes that the integration and expansion of youth in global issues can catalyze a proactive and not a reactive generation.
