Under this page, I plan to show off the people I have met while on the internship. Feel free to check it out regularly, as I hope to meet interesting people all throughout the internship!

Through the National Association of Wheat Growers or NAWG, I met Congressman Mike Conaway who serves Texas' 11th congressional district! My duty was to obtain Representative Conaway's signature on a copy of the 2018 Farm Bill due to his part in the implementation of the bill as the Ranking Member of the House Committee on Agriculture.

I first ran into Dr. Riggs at the Genome to Phenome hearing event in the Russell Senate Office Building where she was one of the guest speakers. We then later met for coffee at the Department of the Interior where she is currently working while in Washington, D.C. Dr. Riggs is the Senior Advisor to the Assistant Secretary for Policy, Management, and Budget at the Department of the Interior.
