When I was at CC, I took two blocks off for an internship at the Wyoming Legislature. Since then, I’ve always had an interest in public policy at the state level. I developed expertise in health policy and now work in all types of insurance. Non-profits have always made me feel like I was making a difference. Public service in any capacity is important to me and that includes community service. Why do you want to be a mentor for PIFP?I think I have a lot to offer in the world of public policy and volunteerism. I’ve worked at organizations that hosted CC fellows and I’ve always connected and taken on a mentoring role. I’d like to do it formally . What’s your favorite book or movie?Singing in the Rain, Daughter of Fortune by Isabelle Allende What is something most people would be surprised to know about you?I have no idea. |
