“I have previously worked as a legislative fellow for a State Representative in Massachusetts. I am really looking forward to experiencing the state government process from another perspective. The Vermont State House is incredibly open and the team at the Vermont Chamber has been so welcoming. This combination has definitely boosted my networking skills and confidence in a professional environment.
I received my paralegal certification from Boston University in the summer of 2022. After graduation, I plan to use this certificate along with my public policy experience to work somewhere in the legal or government fields.
I’m incredibly grateful for this internship opportunity. Throughout my time at UVM most of my research has focused on local government in Vermont. I’m so lucky that I am able to learn about the state government during my last semester. All of my experience has taught me how unique politics is in Vermont and how hands-on it really is. I look forward to taking the skills and connections gained here with me after graduation.”
