Beleyou Kebede is a graduate student at Carnegie Mellon pursuing a Master's in Public Policy and Management. She is on the D.C. track, a highly selective program that integrates graduate coursework in public Policy, management, technology, and analytics with a two-semester fellowship based in Washington, D.C., during the second year of study.

After graduating from undergraduate studies with a bachelor's in Business Administration from Boston University, Beleyou went straight into the tech policy space, working in legal operations at Facebook (now known as Meta). Beleyou spent two years working as a project manager in Intellectual Property at Meta before deciding to pursue her studies in Policy. As a member of the Carnegie Mellon community, Beleyou works at the Diversity and Inclusion Center on Campus and strives to create long-lasting changes for those who are unrepresented. Beleyou hopes to impact U.S. and International Tech Policy in her future career.
