Interning With

Assemblywoman Lorena
Gonzalez Fletcher

By: Kiyahna Brown


If you’re thinking
that interning at the
District Office can
be a little scary, you
would be right!
Although it felt intimidating at first to
be the only high school intern within
this Assembly woman’s office, I found
that the work that I do at this internship
is important and it really helps the
constituents of the 80th district.
Office of Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher’s Mission Statement

Within this public office we are focused on:


➢ Offering assistance to constituents on state related issues
➢ Assisting the underserved in the community
➢ Improving past legislation to assist working families in the 80th assembly district

➢ What it means to be a part of #teamlorena
➢ How to give a legislative update on the legislation Lorena has authored

Challenges & How I Overcame Them
➢ Being the only highschooler in the
office
○ I got to make a lot of new friends
who gave me some insight on
what college is like
➢ Giving leg updates
○ Practiced in front of others and
their feedback helped me
become confident in them
➢ Writing constituent responses & certs
○ It was tedious to get them
corrected, but I learned from my
mistakes.
How this experience will help me in the future
