“Our intern was a stellar addition to our office. With a small staff here and a busy summer, there was a lot of work to be done and he jumped into every project he was given. Before the internships started, he asked several times how he could prepare for his time here and studied up on the company, our top issues, and the Members of Congress we work with most frequently. He was enthusiastic and thorough in his work and eager to learn about all facets of the company. His work ethic is strong and he was not afraid to dive in to the action and offer up his opinions and solutions.”
