I grew up in Connecticut and went to Providence College in Providence, R.I.
I had a professor in college who was a lobbyist. He made us track bills to gain a general understanding of the legislative process. I liked it, and when I returned home, I worked on some campaigns as I was interested in politics. I minored in Political Science. At the end of the campaigns, I was offered a job at a lobbying firm, and everything grew from there.
I lobbied for the law firm Robinson & Cole. I really loved the variety of the issues and working with different people.
How hard you work to get bills passed or killed. It is a labor-intensive job.
The vaccine rollout during COVID was extremely difficult, but I loved the science and how society benefited from the vaccine rollout.
