This past Spring semester, I had the fortunate opportunity of being an intern for Senator Vernon Sykes, who represnets the 28th district of Ohio. Through this internship, I had direct contact with my home senator and the issues that impact the community I was born and raised in. From this experience, I have garnish new office skills, professionalisms, and a deeper understanding of the political process. I also made great friends with my coworkers and have been able to maintain our friendship outside of my being in the office.
Overall, this internship was an all encompassing and enriching experience that directly supliments my political science degree aspirations.
