I’m Back!

Hello, world!

It’s been a while since I last wrote. Between finals and spending about eight days at home, while trying to see about 25 people who I miss tremendously while I’m at school, things got a little bit crazy.

Happily, the summer is now here which means I have time to ponder and write once again.

And what better place to do it than the foot of Capitol Hill?

I’m spending the next two months working in the Office of Educational Technology at the Department of Education, located right off the National Mall. Specifically, I’m working largely on the social media strategy of the office and exploring the ways that the department can work with education technology startup founders, developers, and others involved in the startup ecosystem (and of course, making my fair share of copies and data entries). It’s a pretty incredible experience and I’m so excited to share the journey and the lessons I learn with the world.

I’m planning on writing about 2-3 short posts (~750-1000 words) per week and include a long-form post every 10 days or so. They’ll be about education, startups, the life of a DC intern, and a smattering of other topics. Stay tuned for more updates on my fascinating life and insights on the world of policy, technology, and unpaid internships!
