summer vacation

Which was not a vacation at all, but rather an internship at the Department of Health and Human Services through the Wellesley in Washington program. “This wasn’t a making-coffee internship. I was a member of several working groups, I was in meetings with senior administrators, I pitched my ideas and had them taken seriously. But maybe the biggest lesson I learned was about Wellesley. I met so many alumnae who offered advice, opportunities, friendship. When you’re Wellesley, you’re always Wellesley.” Currently pursuing an MD at Tufts University School of Medicine. Class of 2014.
