Internship Spotlight: Izzy Radakovich

Izzy is a senior majoring in International Relations, Political Theory and Constitutional Democracy and French.

Learn about her internship with U.S. Senator John Barrasso below:

“This summer, I interned in Washington, D.C., for U.S. Senator John Barrasso from my home state of Wyoming. From attending hearings to helping with research and letters, I saw how things ran behind the scenes on Capitol Hill. I also led Capitol tours for constituents and met people from all over the country through networking events and briefings. The experience was fast-paced, varied and deeply informative, offering access to the complexities and responsibilities of public service. One of the best parts was getting to work alongside so many driven, like-minded peers who care about making an impact.”
