What past or current experiences have prepared you for your internship with the Vermont Chamber of Commerce?

One of my first jobs was filing in a law firm, and since then I’ve always had some involvement with the legal profession. Being in that atmosphere furthered my passion for journalism, and I’ve worked on various newsletters throughout high school, eventually doing research for a journal in my first semester of college. Through these experiences, I have maintained two retail jobs, developing a necessary work ethic. These opportunities provided me with the experience, mindset, and skills needed to succeed in the Vermont Chamber of Commerce internship.

What are you most looking forward to/what do you enjoy the most as part of your internship experience? What skills are you developing?

I’m most excited for all the people I’ll get to meet. It’s always exciting to see how many people contribute to operating our government, and I hope to meet connect with as many of them as possible and learn as much as I can.

What are your plans for after college?

I hope to attend law school.

Anything else potential employers should know about you?

I am incredibly grateful to the Vermont Chamber for an opportunity to get involved in this environment and continue working towards my goals within the legal and political framework.
