Internship: Eric Ulrich 2009 Ozone Park Queens, New York
Position: Volunteer Coordinator
Role: On a daily basis I was responsible for doing many things including, data entry, lining up volunteers for various activities like mailing, canvassing, lawn signs, and petitioning. I was given the opportunity to write letters to unions as well as press releases. Perhaps the most beneficial part of the two internships I have done the last two summers at Eric Ulrich 2009 and at The New York City Mayor's Office in 2008 is the connections that I have made to people in the field that will help me network after graduation.
