Elle Baker

Elle is a senior at the University of Washington pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in International Relations and Political Science at the Henry M. Jackson School for International Studies. Originally from Los Angeles, California, Elle’s time in Seattle has given her a better understanding of the international community thanks to Puget Sound’s global connections and opportunities. This past spring, Elle studied abroad in Geneva, Switzerland for four months where she was able to visit and interact with United Nations diplomats, European foreign affairs ministers, sit in on global leadership conferences, and learn about the ever-changing geopolitical world. From this experience, Elle has gained a narrower focus on what she is interested in pursuing post-graduation from UW and eventually post-law school. Elle is passionate about global connections and learning from leaders who are set on enacting real positive change with their work. In her free time, Elle loves to read, run around the Seattle area, make Pinterest boards, and take too many pictures!
