About Keya Patel
I am a Global Affairs and Sports Management student at Rice University with a focused long-term goal of pursuing a dual JD/MBA. My academic and professional interests lie at the intersection of international policy, sports law, and the emerging ethical landscape of AI in peacekeeping and global security.With a background that spans investigative research at Politico E&E to serving as a Junior Commissioner for Knox County, I have developed a comprehensive toolkit in policy analysis, legislative drafting, and public speaking. I am passionate about how legal frameworks can be modernized to protect human interests in a digital age, and I am particularly fascinated by how international and domestic sports can serve as a vehicle for global diplomacy and policy reform.I am eager to connect with professionals in the legal, policy, sports, and international relations sectors who are driven by creating a measurable global impact.
