Looking back, I will always treasure the people I met at USJ and the memories I made with them. Throughout my internships with both Eversource Energy’s Legal Department and the Office of the Secretary of the State, I felt that I was prepared for my career as a lawyer, and I was exposed to new positions in the field that I would have otherwise not learned about.
