Family Program Summer Fellow

Why did you want to become a PIFP Fellow?

I am excited to become part of the nonprofit sector and to be able to work for the Colorado community.

Please give a brief description of your job/role in your host organization:

I will be working on various family economic success issues, including asset building, micro-lending, and rural issues.

What’s the most interesting thing you’ve learned about your host organization so far?

The inter-connectedness of my host organizations! One of my bosses at the Bell Policy Center worked at NCSL for over 20 years and is friends with my NCSL boss.
