Payton Prokes

Majored in Political Science
Georgia State University, Class of 2021
From Dacula, GA
Payton Prokes is a first-generation, Honors college student studying Political Science with a concentration in International Affairs at Georgia State University, and is on track to get her Bachelor's in December 2021. Payton has worked in a variety of positions throughout her college career: as a research assistant through the GSU University Assistantship Program, as a political intern for Carolyn Bourdeaux's 2020 congressional campaign in GA-07, as an outreach program facilitator with GSGATL, and now as a Global Foundations, Organizations, and Institutional Relations Intern for Habitat for Humanity International. Payton developed a passion for community service, philanthropy, and international development - particularly in the areas of education and poverty alleviation - during her volunteer experiences with non-profits such as Gateway Center, the Atlanta Community Food Bank, and the Latin American Association. She dreams of a career in the world of IGOs and is hoping to kick-start that future in mid-2022 with the Peace Corps, as a Health Promoter serving rural communities in Paraguay.
