State House; Boston, MA

I interned as a legislative/press intern. I wrote letters to constituents and compiled daily press clippings. I also attended hearings and events. As time passed I even got to help write up speeches and columns.

I learned so much interning here and was able to work directly with government. I wouldn't change a thing about my experience here.

One piece of advice for anyone looking for an internship would be to look out for field experience in e-recruiting because there are so many opportunities.
