Name: Dylan Davidson

Intern Office: U.S. House Committee on Agriculture

Semester: Fall 2018

Major: Agricultural Communications

Classification: Senior

Hometown: Childress, Texas

My Experience: My time in D.C. was a life changing experience. The office I worked for was a perfect fit for me and the staffers I worked for helped spark my interest in agricultural policy. The networking opportunities, experiences and friendships are all things I will carry with me after my time at Texas Tech.

Why Go: It’ll be an experience that you’ll never forget. It’ll challenge you in many ways and give you friendships and work experience that you’ll never forget.

Any Advice: Don’t get comfortable. If you’re comfortable then you’re not really trying anything new or learning everything the internship has to offer.

Favorite Part: My favorite part is the friendships I made at the Tech House and in the Ag Committee. I have a great friendship with everyone I lived with in the Tech House and the staffers in the Ag Committee made me enjoy going to the office every day.

Looking Ahead: I graduated in May of 2019. Honestly, I’m not sure what I’ll do. Some days I want to go and get a master’s degree from one of the colleges in D.C., and work on the hill and other days I want to join the Navy and serve my country. With whatever I decide to do, I will for sure be taking everything I learned during my internship with me and applying that to my career.
