This week’s 2019 SikhLEAD Summer Internship Spotlight features Saabhir Gill! Saabhir interned at Congressman Ami Bera’s office. Here is what he had to say about his SikhLEAD Experience:
My name is Saabhir Gill, I am from California, I study at the University of California, Berkeley, and for the summer I have been placed in Congressman Ami Bera’s office.
What have you learned from your time in DC?
I have learned how to deal with the bureaucracy of an office. Working on the Hill is very different than working in a law firm or a tech firm, which is what I have done before.
How do you think Langar on the Hill went?
I think Langar on the Hill was a great success. We had a lot of Congressmen, Hill Staffers, and Interns come and learn about Sikhi. Above that, I think it was a great bonding experience for all of the SikhLEAD interns and for us to get to know Kiran, Gujari, Jaspreet, and the rest of the administrative team at SALDEF.
What was the highlight of your internship?
I think being able to write a speech for the Congressmen at a Korea Economic Form was pretty cool. Getting to attend briefings and hearings, as well as, writing his questions and talking points was also a lot of fun.
