DFE Abstract

Over the course of the pandemic, Amy Stemann took the time to explore her interests and passions, which led to several opportunities for growth and development. In March, she worked as a nanny for a family in Indiana, which allowed her to gain teaching experience working with young children. Over quarantine, she discovered a regained interest in politics and did extensive research on the political climate of Appalachia, which was honed by the experiences and research skills she gained while being a part of EPG. She also worked as an intern for the Charles Booker for Senate campaign and spent time organizing information, calling potential voters, and advocating for the candidate. At the end of May, she began working as a barista at Starbucks and soon after started summer classes, she took Introduction to Statistics and U.S/Japanese Policy. When things started to go back to semi-normal, she began an internship with the Louisville Neighborhood Council for district 21. This internship primarily revolved around researching and gaining community support for a community garden within the district 21 areas. While doing this she learned a lot about the community and smaller components of government.
