Los Angeles Mayor's Office of Eric Garcetti

Public Engagement Intern

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti’s Office of Public Engagement acted as a point of coordination for dialogue between the Mayor’s Office and the diverse constituents and communities of Los Angeles. As a Public Engagement Intern for the Central Area, I supported the Mayor’s vision to create an inclusive, transparent, accountable city government. My work consisted of developing outreach strategies to engage community stakeholders, drafting logistical paperwork for the Mayor, and coordinating the Mayor’s Youth Council.
