Major:

Political Science with an emphasis in American Government and Public Policy

Goals After Graduation:

I plan to spend a year getting professional experience in either a congressional office or law firm that specializes in my areas of interest. Then, I’d love to continue my education to obtain a Juris Doctorate or Masters of Public Administration.

Favorite Part of Idaho and Why:

The Snake River is one of my favorites. I grew up in southern Idaho and would spend the majority of my summers wake surfing, tubing and simply enjoying the company of close friends and family out on the river. The Snake River also runs underneath the Perrine Bridge, through Shoshone Falls, and is the gateway to many hidden springs. It is truly a beautiful sight.

What Led You to Applying for the Internship:

I had previously worked in Senator Crapo’s Boise office and loved every second of it. So, when I got accepted into Boise State’s Capital Connection Program, which allows me to study and intern in D.C., I knew I had to secure an internship with the Senator. The work he has done for Idahoans is remarkable and his policy issues align greatly with my own.

Additional Thoughts:

It has been such a privilege to work with the Senator and his amazing staff. Their dedication to public service has made me excited about my future career. I’m so fortunate that everyone in the office takes time to ensure I receive crucial skills and connections to set me up for future success.
