I began as a legislative intern in the office of Representative Gail Hildreth-Whitsett in January 2015. It was here that I had the opportunity to read and interpret house and senate bills that came through the office. I was able to grasp a better understanding at what goes into getting a bill amended and passed. I was taught how to research the policy issues which act as the background for bills. My experience as an intern led me to a paid position as a part-time legislative aide in the same office for the 2016 special session.This position gave me greater responsibility running the front desk and ensuring that committee and floor materials are up to date for the next day.
