 I did the MGA internship
in spring of 2016,
and I was with Senator
Pinsky at the time.
I was traveling two days a
week, up from SU to Annapolis,
and it was a great experience.
I wouldn't take it
back or anything,
and that's where all
my success came from.
 I interned here in
the House of Delegates
actually, for
delegate Ariana Kelly,
and that was a
fantastic experience.
I do believe in hard
work, and I believe
in doing the best you can, and
I worked really hard in college
and sacrificed a lot.
But truly knowing people
gets you very far as well,
and it's really important
to acknowledge that too.
And stuff like
internships, fellowships,
taking the time
join clubs, really
getting to know
people around you,
really propels you
to the next limit.
It's not just your
books that gets you far.
 As an intern, you
definitely learn
the constituent responses.
You get to learn
the bill process.
Kind of the 101 that sets you
up for a career in Annapolis.
So like I said, I would have
never gotten the job with Will
after I graduated, if
it wasn't for having
that one-on-one experience
and being able to just
be thrown into the mix.
It's a lot.
We have a pretty
good representation
in Annapolis of Salisbury
University students,
so it's exciting.
And I look forward to
getting them engaged
and doing what I can for
the greater Maryland area.
