Every student’s path to Harvard Kennedy School is unique. What our alumni go on to do after graduating is equally varied.
We asked several of our alumni to tell us about their experiences before, during, and after HKS and how their time at Harvard shaped their careers and lives.
Having always been interested in public policy, Sophie Faaborg-Andersen MPP 2023 applied to HKS after two years working for a non-profit dedicated to public sector research. Her HKS coursework and experiences with the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs propelled her to a career working on cyber policy within the Department of Defense.
Here’s what she shared.

“HKS refined my communication skills, helping me craft clear, impactful briefs and reports—all key components of my work today in advising senior leadership and shaping cyber policy.”

“The coursework in policy design, security, and quantitative methods sharpened my analytical skills, while my experience at the Belfer Center enhanced my ability to engage with diverse stakeholders and think critically about cyber policy.”
