Richa, an outstanding student, shared: “I strive to work for the federal government in the future, and being able to be a part of it this or next summer would be a dream come true. Working for Congressman Malinowski would mean I’m included in the hard work he and his team have put into representing my district, and I certainly want to be part of that.” Congratulations, Richa!
