Isa Lauchengco

Isa Lauchengco (she/her) is a first and final-year master’s student in International Relations at NYU, concentrating in International Law. She joined the program through NYU’s accelerated BA–MA track. Originally from the Philippines, Isa earned her Bachelor’s degree in Politics and Philosophy from NYU, and hopes to go to law school in the near future! During her undergraduate years, she was actively involved in campus life, serving as Head Delegate of NYU’s Model United Nations Travel Team. Her academic interests include international diplomacy, particularly the foreign policy and diplomatic relations of her home country, the Philippines, as well as international justice and security, political theory, and the intersection of entertainment and politics. Isa has previously interned with the Brennan Center for Justice and the ACLU, and is currently interning with the United Nations Office of Internal Oversight Services, experiences that have strengthened her commitment to public service. Outside of academics and work, Isa enjoys photography (check out her photography), keeping her Beli account up to date, and reading philosophy books that make her brain hurt.
