In a local SHSU Today at Sam article, SHSU senior Ashlyn Parker is spotlighted. She has spent her year exploring multiple facets of government. The public health major, who participated in the Sam Houston Austin Internship Program from January to May, now finds herself in our nation’s capital with The Normandy Group, a government relations firm.
She said. “It has definitely made me consider a career as a lobbyist. I would like to eventually work on Capitol Hill or maybe go into law school. It has given me a lot of different perspectives on how the world works.”
Parker is the first SHSU student, and first student in the Texas State University System, to intern at the firm. Normandy lobbies for the best interests of TSUS, one of their biggest clients.
Much of her work has been spent in agriculture-related areas with clients such as Taylor Farms and USA Rice.
