Abstract

This reflection provides an overview of my summer congressional internship with Representative Bill Keating. This experience improved my understanding of how government operates and helped me clarify my post-graduation plans. With projects ranging from tracking ARPA expenditures to drafting constituent responses and attending various hearings, I gained first-hand exposure to the legislative process. Networking during the internship expanded my professional connections and solidified my decision to return to Capitol Hill before pursuing a master’s degree.
