My experience with the NMSHSA Summer Internship Program has been unbelievable. I am  truly amazed to say I have visited Washington DC! This experience is something I will always carry close with me. From creating amazing friendships with the other interns to simply seeing what Washington DC has to offer!

Before arriving in Washington D.C, I was extremely nervous. Was I prepared? Although I have only been here a few days, our nation’s capital has embraced me into her arms, and I am so excited!

From the moment I landed in Washington D.C., I knew I would develop a network of passionate, like-minded individuals who, if given the chance, would move mountains to help me succeed.
