As my internship in Washington, DC draws to a close, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on this invaluable experience made possible by the Snider DC Scholarship.

The experience of being able to work and live in a city as important as Washington, DC was unrivaled. Nowhere else in the United States is history so accessible. Even without trying, every day as you walk around the city, you are immersed in American and World History. Some of the highlights of my time here were visiting the Thomas Jefferson Memorial, near the Tidal Basin, and being able to access sites such as the Arlington National Cemetery. And this is not to mention the plethora of opportunities to attend receptions and speaker events. The city truly teems with interesting people to meet and network with. On top of this, my professional experience was extremely rewarding.

While in DC, I worked at Ferguson & Associates, a lobbying firm that primarily dealt with issues related to Alaska. While working at this firm, I was able to attend committee hearings, meet with government officials, and work directly with clients to help advocate for issues relating to such areas as education, energy, and Indian affairs. Overall, I was able to greatly improve my personal and professional communication skills and make connections that will last a lifetime.

I am very grateful for the support of both the Benson Center and Snider Grant in giving me this opportunity and encouraging any students looking for internships that relate to the Benson Center’s mission or public service and government.
