Cassidy Regan

Kenya Project Associate

Cassidy Regan is a Kenya Project Associate with the Peaceful Prevention of Deadly Conflict Program. Over the next year, she'll work to advocate for a U.S. policy that helps support, rather than undermine, Kenyan efforts toward peace before their next national election. She'll also monitor U.S. policy developments on an international Arms Trade Treaty. Cassidy is originally from Redding, Connecticut, where she attended Joel Barlow High School, and most recently lived in Philadelphia while studying at the University of Pennsylvania.

Cassidy graduated from Penn summa cum laude in May 2010, earning a bachelor's degree with academic distinction in International Relations and minors in Urban Studies and Chinese. During her time as an undergraduate, Cassidy spent a semester studying abroad in Beijing, China. She later spent a summer in Delhi, India, working with Chintan Environmental Research and Action Group through a grant from the Center for the Advanced Study of India.

Prior to beginning as Kenya Project Associate, Cassidy worked with FCNL as a Herbert Scoville, Jr. Peace Fellow. Before moving to D.C., she acted as an associate consultant focusing on small city revitalization and community economic development for Praxis Consulting Group. She also conducted research on the legal components of community land trusts for Professor Andrew Lamas at the University of Pennsylvania.
