Internships – Parliamentary Research Program and Others
Throughout my career, I have been privileged to have had a range of mentors and trainers who have helped strengthen and shape my professional goals.
Now I am in the position to prioritise mentorship, support educational growth and provide internships through my electorate office. Beyond skill development, the reciprocal relationship between organisations and interns fosters better cross-cultural and cross-generational understandings. In a world that is increasingly interconnected, this is an important aspect of not just increasing knowledge in key areas but is an exchange of ideas and understanding between a wide range of people.
By investing in the educational journeys of our interns, we are developing and investing in people that not only excel professionally but also contribute to the knowledgebase of our local community. I am committed to researching new ideas for the future of our community. This commitment not only shapes the learning experience for interns but also plays a role in shaping a collective future where diversity, collaboration, and mutual understanding thrive at the community level.
