Michael Kane Latin America Rights and Security: Intern
Michael recently graduated from Wake Forest University where he majored in Political Science with minors in Spanish and Latin American studies.

Michael has a love for languages, having studied both German and Arabic in addition to Spanish. Not all his interests are purely academic, however: he has a strong passion for music, cars, and pop culture.
