Cecilia Chen

Hello! My name is Cecilia (or Cee as my friends call me) and I attended Yale Law School after graduating from Georgetown University's joint degree program in Business and Global Affairs from the McDonough School of Business and the School of Foreign Service. I work primarily with students interested in public policy, international law, and interdisciplinary academic pathways. My advising style is highly collaborative and detail-oriented, with an emphasis on helping students communicate intellectual maturity and long-term purpose. Having previously worked in Washington, D.C. and later in international arbitration, I often mentor applicants pursuing careers in diplomacy, global policy, and cross-border business law. I have also been a long-time debater, having competed in public forum debate in high school where I qualified four times to NSDA Nationals. In undergrad, I pursued policy debate before joining the Mock Trial Team during my time at Yale Law School.
