Hello. My name is Gwenna Keckler and I am currently a second-year graduate student here at Penn State in the School of International Affairs. I am pursuing my Master's of International Affairs with a concentration in Data Analytics and Development Policy. I graduated from the University of Missouri with my Bachelor's in Economics and Political Science, with honors. I also have minors in Middle East Studies and Journalism. I love reading, writing, and the outdoors. I studied abroad in Amman, Jordan and learned Arabic. I am currently learning Swahili in my free time in preparation for a trip to Kenya after I graduate. I hope to work in the economic development field after I graduate working with NGOs to try and make the world a better place.
