My name is Skylar Cannon, and I am currently a fourth-year at the University of Georgia. In Spring 2026, I’ll graduate with bachelors degrees in health promotion and philosophy. I’ll earn three minors as well– in law and ethics, health policy and management, and global health. I’m interested in global health policy, biomedical ethics, and emergency preparedness. I’m a lead ambassador for the Active Learning department at the university, and am working on research with the Institute for Disaster Management on how student researchers relate to their environment over time.
In the future, I want to work with an international organization in policy research and humanitarian responses. When I’m not working on policy memos, you can usually find me in front of a chess board studying opening theory, or in the library searching for a new book to read. My favorite openings are the Trompowsky and Ruy Lopez. I’m passionate about traveling as well— while at UGA, I’ve done three study abroads, and have been to 50+ countries on all contintents but Antartica.
