Many Jonathan Law seniors have started their senior internships in the past few weeks. Senior Caroline Doyle just began her internship at the Mayor’s office in Milford. Advocate Staff Reporter Maya Markowitz interviewed Doyle about her experience so far.
Maya Markowitz: Where is your internship?
Caroline Doyle: My internship is at the Mayor’s office.
MM: How did you choose your internship?
CD: I chose my internship because I’m planning on pursuing politics in college and in my future career, so I wanted to get a better understanding of local government.
MM: What is your favorite part of this program?
CD: My favorite part of this program is my ability to choose how my day is set up. I pick my own hours, and I never do the same thing at my internship every day. We have a lot of freedom and that makes it really exciting.
MM: What do you hope to get out of this experience?
CD: I hope to get a better understanding of local government, but also find other areas of politics that I could potentially be interested in.
MM: What kind of tasks are you typically doing daily?
CD: Daily, I usually attend different meetings ranging from chamber of commerce meetings, planning and zoning, or even health department meetings. I also do lots of research on behalf of the office, whether it’s on grants, events in Milford, or otherwise.
