Beyond relevant and rewarding work experience, she also was able to explore DC \u2013 the museums, the Supreme Court, the National Zoo \u2013 and enjoyed a day trip to New York City. She was in DC for the presidential election with a front seat to a historic race. She lived within the security perimeter of the capitol, which wasn\u2019t always convenient.&nbsp;Eva enjoyed the work \u2013 she has always loved persuasive writing and campaign work and plans to seek work in public relations taking on projects in politics and sports media \u2013 and the experience.
