From Westfield, NJ

Is this you?

I am an undergraduate student looking to incorporate my passion for politics with my interest in the media. My experience wiith the Delaware General Assembly, interning with ABC News' DC Bureau and on Capitol Hill, researching political satire, producing and anchoring a live news show, and advising interns with the University of Delaware Hillel, along with my related coursework, have been integral in exposing me to the various skill sets necessary and opportunities available within the field of political communication. I intend to pursue an Honors Degree and eventually attend graduate school.
