Skylar Haines
Quinnipiac University International Studies and Journalism student

I am passionate about meaningful, well-researched storytelling, giving a voice to those left voiceless, and using the power of the press to invigorate social consciousness and responsibility.
After teaching English at an impoverished government school in Serapio, Mexico during the 2016 election and returning home to a political administration, and movement, that denied the humanity and voice of the children and families I had gotten to know in Mexico- I knew I had no choice but to dedicate myself entirely to cultural exchange and accessible global news.
Incredibly grateful for the hard work and leadership all the IPI WoCo attendees show in international journalism and the reinvention of this space. I would love to connect with anyone who shares my passion!
