Hailing from Flaxton, N.D., pop. 61, Leader in Action Kayla Barral sees her UND education as her springboard to the world
Though she comes from the small town of Flaxton, N.D., pop. 61, Kayla Barral has global ambitions.
The child of Swiss and Brazilian immigrants, Kayla plans to use her degrees in Global Studies and Political Science to navigate world affairs. Her ultimate goal: Working for the U.S. Department of State as a foreign service officer.
Kayla was attracted to UND for its close-knit college experience with top-level credentials. With support from her professors, she has secured a training fellowship in Washington, D.C., and an internship with @statedept.
“UND does a great job of catering to your interests and what you want to pursue, rather than forcing what they think you should do,” she said. “You get the experience you want.”
