Michelle Young

2026 Spring Intern

I’m Michelle Young, a third-year student in Barrett, The Honors College at Arizona State University pursuing concurrent degrees in Political Science and Business Law, with a minor in Justice Studies and a certificate in International Studies. I’m committed to advancing justice, strengthening democratic institutions, and creating meaningful change through law and policy.

My academic and research work focuses on political polarization, civic engagement, and civic education—areas where I aim to bridge divides and empower communities. After graduation, I plan to pursue both a Juris Doctor (JD) and a Master of Public Policy (MPP) to build the legal and policy foundation needed for effective public service.
