“Working as an intern in D.C. for only a few months, I was surprised how quickly I gained perspective of life as a public servant.  The discussion series gave me the opportunity to get career advice from people I respect, build a community with young D.C. professionals, and broaden my outlook as a developing professional.” –Shoshee Jau, Roundtable Series Participant
