Bio
Mikala Louise Sørensen
I have had the pleasure of working with Sean as contributor for Global Risk Insights since April 2013. During that time, I have turned to his articles for concise, well-focused analysis on energy, US foreign policy and India. Sean delivers extremely read-worthy pieces on these complex issues and always offers a nuanced, well-researched approach. In addition to that, he's a humourous and supportive colleague.
John Adams
Sean was an undergraduate student in my course in National Security Policy at the University of Arizona South during the Fall 2010 semester, where his excellent performance demonstrated his intellectual acumen. He always contributed insightfully to the class discussions, and his performance consistently displayed mastery of the course material. Sean was also active in community affairs, demonstrating the skill and passion that will serve him well in a future career in public affairs. Sean has outstanding initiative, competence, and potential.
