WASHINGTON— Today, U.S. Senator Tom Udall (D-N.M.) thanked Farmington native Emily Nguyen for her work as an intern in his Washington, D.C., office this summer. During her tenure working virtually with Udall’s D.C. office, Nguyen worked closely with the legislative team.
“U.S. Senate interns gain invaluable experience as they learn to navigate our nation’s legislative process. I applaud all of our interns who, despite having an unconventional, ‘virtual’ internship due to the global pandemic, found many ways to contribute to my office,” said Udall. “It’s been a pleasure to work with Emily this summer, and I hope she finds her experiences during this internship rewarding as she finishes her studies at Harvard and embarks on a promising career in environmental engineering.”
“I am incredibly appreciative for the opportunity to intern in Senator Udall’s office this summer. I am grateful for the staff for being so welcoming to us interns and their brown bags that helped us delve more deeply into the issues affecting communities in New Mexico,” Nguyen said. “One of my favorite parts was helping draft a letter to constituents regarding the military budget. I was able to be a part of the process of editing, and I felt more connected to my community when it was sent out to 600 constituents. I also enjoyed attending the staff meetings and being a part of the office. This internship was more than I could have asked for. Thank you so much!”
Emily is the daughter of Kim and Linh Nguyen and is a graduate of Farmington High School. She is a rising sophomore at Harvard University where she is studying Environmental Engineering and Architecture. Outside the classroom, she is involved in The Crimson, women’s heavyweight rowing, skiing and tennis.
