Jane Tabet-Kirkpatrick is a recent graduate from the University of New Mexico with a degree in Political Science and Spanish with Honors College Designation. Jane was awarded the Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship to Spain. Post-graduation she has worked as a substitute teacher and as a fellow for Santa Fe’s Center on International Relations mentoring New Mexico high school students. She was a Fred Harris Intern for the Fall of 2020 for Senator Martin Heinrich in Washington D.C. She, with the help of other interns, helped curate a Public Policy Workshop for New Mexico collegiate students. She is passionate about education in New Mexico rural schools, with a special interest in young bilingual learners. She hopes to use her Fulbright experience to enlighten her on international education policy, as she hopes to make a career in education law. Jane is incredibly thankful the exceptional mentors on campus who, without, many opportunities would have not been possible. Specifically, she would like to thank Professor Peter Kierst, Dr. Ellen Grigsby, Dr. Kiyoko Simmons, Dr. Patricia Gillikin, and Dr. David Wilson.
