My first encounter with the captivating city of Washington, D.C. was during an elementary school class trip. Little did I know then that this vibrant city would play such a significant role in shaping my future. Throughout college, my studies in political science only fueled my curiosity and passion for this remarkable city. This led me to apply to the White House Intern Program, where I ended up witnessing history and the inner workings of government on a daily basis. However, my busy schedule at the White House prevented me from fully exploring the wonders of Washington. Therefore, after college, I made it a point to return to DC. Eager to discover the city's rich history and vibrant culture, I took a flight to DC and began my adventure.
