politics, law, & international relations

During summer 2017, I had the opportunity to intern in Congressman Phil Roe’s district office. As an intern, I was given the opportunity to act as a liaison between the Congressman and his constituents, which was a tremendous learning experience as I learned of all the different resources the Congressman has the ability to use in order to provide assistance to his constituents.

Once my internship with Congressman Roe was finished, I then began an internship with Delegate Israel O’Quinn. Interning for Delegate O’Quinn allowed me to communicate directly with constituents by visiting manufacturing companies and businesses, as well as the many events taking place in Delegate O’Quinn’s district. Working with both Congressman’s Roe’s and Delegate O’Quinn’s offices afforded me the opportunity to network with new people, learn about how both federal and state political offices work, and learn so much more about the legislative process. Overall, both of my internships were incredibly fun learning experiences, and I could not have asked for better people to work for or work with.
