Tristin Schultz is a third-year student at Seattle University pursuing studies in international relations and economics, with a special focus in the political economy of Asia and the Korean Peninsula. As a 2019 David L. Boren scholar, Tristin participated in intensive Korean-language studies at Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea. This experience combined with his own Korean heritage has inspired Tristin to pursue a career in the U.S. Foreign Service, where he hopes to aid in fostering lasting economic and political stability on the Korean Peninsula.
As a research intern at The Committee for Human Rights in North Korea (HRNK), Tristin looks forward to refining his research and writing capabilities. Furthermore, through working with experts in the field of North Korean human rights, he wishes to contribute towards redirecting the North Korean narrative to encompass the ongoing human rights crisis.
