What past or current experiences have prepared you for your internship with the Vermont Chamber of Commerce?
In my previous role as an intern at Community Wealth Development, I experienced firsthand the work of local governments. Throughout my internship, I contacted dozens of local town managers, select board members, and town treasures to solicit interviews. These interviews were conducted as part of a larger project to further understand local challenges Vermont municipalities faced.
During the 2020 presidential election, I had a strong interest in politics. However, at the time I was not yet old enough to vote, so I volunteered as a poll worker in Cook County, Illinois. This allowed me to participate in the election and engage with my local community.
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 am enjoying the opportunity to meet new professionals and lawmakers as part of my internship experience. It’s exciting to watch the government in action and see how laws are created, debated, and implemented. This experience is helping me develop skills in legislative analysis and understanding the intricacies of the policymaking process, which I find incredibly rewarding.
What are your plans for after college?
After graduating, I plan on pursuing my master’s degree in sustainable innovation at the University of Vermont Grossman School of Business.
