Kristen Morris graduated from Rhodes College in 2020 with an International Studies degree. While interning with World Relief Memphis, she was introduced to the complexities of refugee resettlement and the U.S. migration system as well as the root causes of migration. Wanting to gain a view of pre-resettlement migration, she interned with an organization in Morocco where she worked with sub-Saharan African migrants and underprivileged Moroccans. Both of these experiences have inspired her to pursue graduate studies in Spring 2022 in intelligence, security, and post-conflict development. Through ACE, she is excited to conduct research focused on the Middle East, specifically causes of conflicts, government structures, and social services. In her free time, she enjoys kayaking, bartending, and exercising.
