Real-World Experience
INTERNSHIP:
N.Y. STATE ASSEMBLY
M y internship with a member of the New York State Assembly has been a great experience. During the budget process, I did a lot policy analysis, working out how proposals would impact the district and looking for alternatives. It was an intricate process that involved a very different level of thinking from reading textbooks or attending class.
