Tess Davis

DME Podcast Production Intern at U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs

Rexburg, Idaho, United States

About

I am currently a senior undergrad at BYU-Idaho. As an Interdisciplinary Studies major, I have chosen to study areas in Accounting and International Studies. I plan to pursue a government career and offer my services to those in need. In recent years, I have been able to be a part of the Virtual Student Federal Service Program and gain experience at the Department of Veteran's Affairs. As I've worked with the VA's Production Team, I have produced meaningful work that highlights Veterans and their service. I have also been able to intern at the Research and Business Development Center and learn how to produce and manage deliverables for clients. As I come close to graduating, I'm looking for more opportunities and positions to apply my skills.
