Today I had the opportunity to work in the governors office. The day started off meeting Eliza, who is basically all of the policy directors assistants. She knows a little bit of everything and it was so cool just watching her on the job. After a quick tour of the governors office, we met Jeremy and his intern Jack who told us about their job with environmental policy. Neither one of them had gone to college thinking “oh public policy is the greatest thing ever, I want to spend my life on policy.” It turns out that Jeremy actually wanted to become a musician. Over the course of time, and interesting classes they both realized that they were passionate about the environment and one way to push their interests was through public policy. Later almost everyone in the entire governors office joined together for a monthly lunch and learn. It was very interesting for me to hear how all of the different parts of the governors office work together. After a late lunch, Adithi, Eliza and I took a tour of the governors capital office. We got to meet the governors team who works in the capital. Overall it was a very busy and productive day!
