>> I think the variety is nice.
I think, like, about the broader program, the ability to work in the Department of Defense
and work in three very different offices and get to choose them myself, I think,
is incredibly unique, and a lot of the times, you might find a really great office, but,
you know, that's one office, and I get to work in three really great offices,
so I think that's just an inherent advantage in itself, and for someone who's interested
in politics long term, getting to work in different offices, I think,
is a good time to build my own skill sets.
You know, continue to learn, and I think, generally,
since I'm a relatively recent graduate, it's still a good time to get a lot of expose your
to a lot of kind of very crucial and key things at a younger age, and so I just,
I'm trying to soak up as much as I can, and I think the ability to be flexible and work
in different offices and kind of find a role and make a role for myself,
is probably the most exciting thing.
I think, at the same time, where I'm trying to find a role, the office that I'm
in is trying to find a role for me.
It's a lot easier when you have someone that you know is going to be there for a year,
several years, to incorporate in there, and mine are six-month rotations,
which sounds like a long period of time, probably, to a lot of people,
but in world of politics and, at least in the world of the Department
of Defense, six months can go by like that.
I only started in August, and I felt like it went
by like a breeze, my first rotation, that is.
So I think generally, it's trying to find ways that I can do substantive, important work
and really learn a lot, in a very short period of time.
