“My favorite part of my job is the passion that people bring! I especially love taking people on their first Congressional visit – either virtual or on Capitol Hill – and watching them become a pro at speaking to Members of Congress and their staff. Everyone usually starts out nervous, but by the end of each meeting is confident and powerful.”
