DaNae Estabine

Results-oriented Master's student (expected graduation June 2026) with 10 years of work experience and a proven knowledge of law, government, project management, conflict resolution, and office work. Frequently recognized as a proactive individual who can be relied upon to help achieve goals.

I have experience in policy advocacy, government relations, and legal support across academic, nonprofit, and government settings. I have worked with state and federal policymakers through student government leadership and a U.S. Senate internship, advancing policy priorities through research, coalition engagement, and public-facing advocacy. My legal experience includes supporting attorneys in legal aid and a state attorney general’s office through drafting, case preparation, and court filings. Across roles, I bring strong writing, organizational, and stakeholder engagement skills.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with minors in Philosophy and Business from the University of Kansas, where I was recognized as a Truman Scholar Finalist, Newman Civic Fellow, and recipient of the Agnes Wright Strickland Award for leadership and service. I am currently pursuing a Master’s in Global Affairs at Tsinghua University as a Schwarzman Scholar, focusing on governance, public policy, and global systems, with an expected graduation in June 2026.
