Winners of the 2023 World Cultures “Explainer” Series

My name is Sebastian Rix, an incoming sophomore from Seattle WA. My interest in International Affairs has stemmed from my love to travel, something I’ve been lucky enough to do since I was little. My hope is to one day use the skills I learn to make a difference in the word, whether that be environmentally, in business/trade or politics though I don’t know yet. Any interests mainly consist of photography, running, history, reading, traveling, and horology.

My name is Annabelle Lien and I’m a rising second year at Northeastern University. I am currently majoring in International Affairs and International Business with a minor in French. I’m from Arizona but grew up abroad in Switzerland, Shanghai, and most recently, Singapore. My aspirations are to work as a diplomat or for a major NGO such as the UN to continue supporting underprivileged communities worldwide.
