I learned about the workings of politics in DC, researched congressional and political activity for Congressional Quarterly publications and responded to client inquiries about federal government processes, politics, and public policy. Many of my colleagues went on to write, report, and provide commentary for NPR, the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and other prestigious media. Though this was a very positive experience with many fond memories, I eventually made a shift, and chose to help college students and career changers find out their gifts and calling.
