“Hi everyone! My name is Sophia Reyes, and I’m a senior finance major at LCU. This semester, I’m spending time in Washington, D.C., where I’m working as the Development Intern for Public Knowledge.

Alongside my internship, I’m taking courses and participating in professional development opportunities through The Washington Center. Beyond the classroom and workplace, I’ve had the opportunity to meet new people, explore the city, find a church community, and grow in ways I never expected.

I’m so thankful for the LCU Honors College, the School of Business, The Washington Center, and everyone who has helped make this experience possible. I’m excited for all that’s still ahead!”
