During the fall semester Representative Shawn Dooley had five area students complete internships in his office:
- Katherine Chung (White Plains, NY)—Boston College, 2020
- Madeleine Nichols (Bloomfield Hills, MI)—Boston College, 2020
- Carolann Schoenbaum (Newport Beach, CA)—Boston College, 2019
- Upahar Shah (Kathmandu, Nepal)—Bridgewater State University, Masters Program 2018
- Nate Wolf (Boston)—Holy Cross, 2022
Dooley’s interns get the opportunity to learn about politics in a hands-on fashion. From campaign life in the district to policy work in the State House, they are exposed to all sides of state and local politics. “It’s a trite expression, but my office truly could not function without our interns” said Dooley. “This particular group of interns was one of the most intelligent, dedicated, and hard-working groups I’ve had. Their service in my office undoubtedly helped me be a better Representative of my constituents. While the work can be challenging, I hope this was a rewarding and fun experience for them all. I know unflinchingly that they will be an asset and a success in anything they choose to pursue in the future. I thank them all for their service to me and all the citizens of the 9th Norfolk District.”
Any high school and college students interested in applying for an internship in Dooley’s office are encouraged to reach out to his Chief of Staff, William Rigdon, at William.Rigdon@mahouse.gov.
