Her experiences as a campaign coordinator, an intern at Legal Outreach, State Senator Liz Krueger’s office, and the Brennan Center for Justice reflect her interests in politics, government, and advocacy. For her senior research project, Ndeye studied the relationship between Islam and democracy in her birth country, Senegal.
