I had the amazing opportunity to intern under N.C. State Senator Julie Mayfield this summer. At the General Assembly I was able to engage directly with the legislative process by attending Senate sessions, committee meetings, and private discussions. This experience provided me with a comprehensive understanding of the logistics involved in running a state government, as well as deep insights into current issues affecting North Carolina and our 49th district specifically. Observing the intricate workings of policy-making and the impact on local communities was both educational and inspiring.

I had the opportunity to shadow attorney Sean P. Kennan from Strickland Agner Pittman Law Firm this past summer! I was able to learn a lot about my local court system and meet so many incredible people. I am so thankful for this learning experience and I look forward to my next opportunity!
