I spent the spring of 2012 in D.C. interning in the office of Senator Gillibrand from New York. I've been active in politics starting at Lake Highlands High School where I was a member of the Young Democrats chapter. In 2008 I was an alternate delegate to the Dallas County Convention. In the fall of 2008 I joined the University Democrats at UT Austin, where I've been a member of several committees and volunteered on many campaigns. I lobbied the 82nd Texas legislature for competitive insurance benefits and against amendments to ban gender and sexuality centers at Universities in Texas. In 2012 I am a delegate to the Democratic state convention in Houston, Texas.
