    My internship at the European Parliament involved working with MEP Jens Geier, who is a member of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats. Geier sits on two committees - the Committee on Budgets, which is responsible for drafting the EU's annual budget, and the Committee on Budgetary Control, which oversees how the EU budget is spent. The internship provided exposure to the workings of these committees and the European Parliament overall through participation in meetings and assisting colleagues.
