Congratulations to Celine Celeste Kronstedt, our Milwaukee Club’s Young Women in Leadership Award recipient!
Celine is currently a Senior attending Cedarburg High School. In high school, Celine has been in leadership roles for multiple clubs including Debate, Global Scholars, Model United Nations, GSA, and more. Most recently, Celine was chosen for the Distinguished Young Woman of Grafton Award. Throughout these experiences Celine feels she has learned many different soft and technical skills, however, she believes that developing the values of cultural awareness and empathy were the most important skills she’s acquired.
Outside of school Celine completed an internship through Leadership Initiatives that partnered with Borno State University of Nigeria. During the course of her internship, she developed an electrical security system designed to provide the university with tools to protect its students and staff. The system aided over 10,000 students and is ultimately what inspired Celine to decide to pursue a career in law, where she can help and advocate for others.
Celine’s career goal is to earn a degree in Political Science and Legal Studies from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and later pursue a J.D. in law school to become an attorney. Growing up in a low-income household and losing her father in 2022 taught Celine about resilience and the value of standing up for others facing adversity. This loss has shaped her desire to pursue a career dedicated to justice and advocacy, helping those who face hardships like her family did.
