Eleanor McHugh

I am completing my B.A. in Global Studies and minor in International Relations this May graduating as Valedictorian of my class. My focus is on environmental policy, and I recently finished a case study analyzing a Maori-led approach to water policy in Whanganui, Aotearoa.

Recently, I have been working for the New York League of Conservation Voters as a Policy Intern. When I lived in Whanganui from September through November of 2023, I worked for the Maori Regional Tourism Organization. I also have experience working as a campaign fellow for a coordinated campaign in Arizona.
