Most memorable DC experience:
Attending the 2013 presidential inauguration. The experience itself made coming to school in DC worth it. 

Favorite thing to do in DC: 
Getting lunch downtown during work at Farragut Square from one of the numerous food trucks and enjoying it on the lawn. 

Something you wish you knew before you came to DC:
Definitely would have to say Student Intern Network. An internship was a requirement for my first semester of college and Student Intern Network would have been a great tool in helping me to acquire an internship earlier rather than later. 

Hints for students/interns new to DC: 
Learn how to get around DC using the metro. Definitely get the smart trip card (simple to use and cheaper fares) and remember that the metro closes at midnight during Sunday-Thursday and 3 AM on Fridays and Saturdays. So plan accordingly!

Favorite place to use your deals band:
Everyone in college goes to Uptown so you can’t go wrong with the SIN deal there. 

Funny experience during internship:
Occasionally my responsibilities extend to babysitting when the office transforms into a playground as some customers decide to bring in their children with them.

Interests following school/internship: 
Entrepreneurship – Working/interning at a startup and learning how to build a business from the ground up. Then ultimately using that knowledge towards starting my own business sometime in the future.
