Local high school graduates are gaining experience as interns with State Rep. Kathy Kreag Richardson (R-Noblesville) and fellow members of the House of Representatives during the 2018 legislative session.
Christine Schulte, a resident of Fishers and a Fishers High School graduate, is the daughter of Mike and Jean Ann Schulte. She is a student at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis pursuing a degree in computer engineering.
As an intern in the House Majority Communications Office, Schulte helps create legislative handouts, writes blog posts and assists the social media and technology specialist with daily tasks.
Dayton Jennings, a resident of Noblesville and a Noblesville High School graduate, is the son of Kevin and Christy Jennings. He is a Wabash College graduate who earned a bachelor’s degree in financial economics.
As a fiscal policy intern, Jennings corresponds with staff on issues that directly relate to the state’s finances.
Each year, the House of Representatives offers paid internship opportunities to college students, law-school students, graduate students and recent college graduates for the duration of each legislative session.
“I love meeting and working with young people from our community,” Richardson said. “Christine and Dayton are valuable members of our team and it’s exciting to watch them grow as professionals.”
