I push federal and state government to invest in human beings as part of our economic stability and recovery.
Here's the first step for college students
Find internships or externships to help you gain hands-on work experience. I was relentless about finding internships to help me forge my path. I interned for a senator, the Chamber of Commerce, and an organization that helped people find work. I was able to gain valuable insight into what I liked doing and what I didn't like doing. That way, I had a clearer path when I graduated. Internships can help you figure out what industries, company cultures, and positions you like and don't like.
