[more]"The three beneficial parts of my internship were my proximity to the inner workings of a political office , my coworkers, and the opportunities I had to engage with New Hampshire politics."

[more]"My interest in foreign policy has since been piqued, and I hope to study international relations and how specific words exchanged between world leaders can impact foreign affairs. Thus, my time at AEI has steered me toward studying English, creative writing, and government at Dartmouth. "
[more]"During my internship, I was able to further explore my career aspirations by meeting a plethora of junior officers and enlisted personnel in the US Navy. I participated in Command PT and even completed the Navy Physical Readiness Test (PRT) at Joint-Base Anacostia Bolling."
