About
Major: Politics; History
My fellowship experience
"While at the Department of Administration I was also able to attend press briefings, which gave me an introduction to the inside-view of politics. I learned a lot through this, being able to talk to other employees about Minnesota politics amid the first government shutdown."

Aims of the Fellowship
I was lucky enough to engage fully in two internships this
summer, spending the first half of my week at the Department of Labor &
Industry working on construction safety legislation ideas and the second half
of the week at the Department of Administration where I scanned innovative
ideas across the country and submitted them to the governor.
