Inside With an Intern: Bailey Brown

Hi, my name is Bailey Brown. I am 21 years old and from Midland, TX. I will begin my Senior year at Abilene Christian University in the fall. I am an English major with a History minor and I plan on applying for law school in the next few months. I am anxiously awaiting my LSAT scores to decide where I want to spend the next three years of my life! Hopefully I will know in about a week!

As a college student I have had so many amazing opportunities. I have studied abroad in Oxford, England with ACU and had the chance to travel all over Europe. I have lived in Brazil for a summer. I have only been in Washington D.C. four days but I can already see that this is an opportunity that will rank among the best experiences of my life! It is eye opening to see the democratic process in action and I love contributing to an office that serves all the people I know back home.

Coming from Midland, Washington is a big and exciting place. People always seem to be running around, doing important things. It has been fun to ride the Metro and figure out my way around town. Things never stop moving! It is really amazing to walk in to work each morning and be able to see the Capitol. Washington is a beautiful city and being surrounded by monuments and amazing buildings reminds me of the important work everyone is doing here.

As an intern I am mostly responsible for doing basic office jobs. I answer phones and often get to speak with constituents. Once I am trained I will be able to give tours of the Capitol which I am definitely looking forward to! I am also available to help permanent staffers with any projects they have going on. Regardless of what I am doing, Capitol Hill is a fun and exciting place. Sometimes I can?t believe that I have this opportunity. My job may not be glamorous but it is unbelievably cool to be here for the summer. I can?t wait to see what is in store for the next seven weeks!
