Meet the Founder

I’m Claire, a Washington D.C. intern-turned-intern-program-manager on Capitol Hill. I am a mentor for John’s Hopkins University as part of their Career360 program, where doctoral students shadow my work and learn from my experience. I also oversee alumni and community events, specialize in graphic design, and freelance create content for local DMV (DC, MD, and VA) businesses.

Today, I use my on-the-ground experience and insider knowledge to help students and early-career professionals make the most of their time in the DMV. I share free internship resources, weekly opportunities, and local guides across social media and email, while also offering one-on-one consultations for those who want more personalized guidance.

My goal is simple: to make internships and living in Washington D.C. more accessible, informed, and less stressful so you can focus on learning, growing, and building your future.
