Kendall graduated from Wellesley in May 2015 with a double major in political science and economics. At Wellesley, she played on the Varsity Basketball team (go Blue!) and wrote a senior honors thesis on the role of private military contractors in war. Kendall is currently studying Arabic in Amman, Jordan, on a Boren Scholarship. These scholarships provide funding for American students to study less commonly taught languages in critical regions of the world, in exchange for at least one year of service in the federal government. Kendall will remain in Amman for one academic year, after which she will return to Washington, DC, to seek employment in a federal agency.
