David Shaw is a current graduate student in Georgetown University’s Applied Intelligence Master’s program. After graduating from University of Richmond with degrees in Political Science and History, he gained experience working with Congressional representatives, experience which he has carried into his work on outreach for HRNK.  His studies at Georgetown also closely mirror his work with HRNK’s satellite imagery analysis team. He believes that, in spite of the dramatic headlines and major geopolitical issues caused by the Kim regime in North Korea, it is vital to remember that under all the turbulence, there are real people enduring incredible suffering at the hands of the current rulers, and the ultimate goal of any effort aimed at creating change in North Korea should be centered around the mission of attaining freedom and security for its citizens.
