As a Lumpkin Summer Institute for Service Learning fellow, Anna completed a remote internship during the summer of 2020 with MassVOTE—a voting rights and social justice organization located in Boston. At MassVOTE, Anna conducted research on the state of political engagement in environmental justice communities, and participated in voter outreach initiatives to boost voter registration and Census response rates across Massachusetts. Anna has also interned at the Small Planet Institute and the Office of Congressman Joe Courtney (CT-02) to explore her simultaneous interests in policy research, civic engagement, and environmental activism.

After graduation, Anna intends to pursue a career in public service, with an emphasis on community engagement and equitable environmental policy.
