Nessa Kenny is a fourth-year student in the Faculty of Arts and Science, completing a specialist in peace, conflict, and justice studies. She is particularly interested in issues of paediatric and youth health, specifi cally in conflict and post-confl ict regions of the world. In the summers, Nessa works in leadership development, taking youth on two-week kayak, hike, and canoe expeditions in the wilderness of British Columbia. Her involvement in the Global Ideas Institute thus merges both her interest in health and her passion for working with youth. After she finishes at the University of Toronto, Nessa is hoping to pursue a graduate degree in public policy or global health.
