For years I searched to find my own niche between the two worlds I find most alluring:
healthcare and politics. To better understand my options, I interned for three months
at Health and Human Services in Washington, D.C. through the Hinkley Institute of
Politics. My time there was spent getting nearly "power moved" out of a meeting with
the Secretary, writing on services available post-incarceration, recording webinars,
exploring museums, and watching the protests against Kavanaugh first-hand on my lunch
break.
Being able to witness how Health and Human Services and the greater D.C. area tick
allowed me to move forward with greater confidence on a career path towards tearing
down barriers individuals experience when accessing health care in the United States.
