WASHINGTON, D.C. – A West Chester native was selected for an internship in the U.S. Senate. U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) today announced that Mahtub Mochanloo is serving as a legislative intern in Brown’s Capitol Hill office. Mochanloo is currently pursuing degrees in Political Science and Financial Economics at Vanderbilt University.

“Ohio students – like Mahtub – exemplify how strong families, teachers, and Ohio communities continue to produce the next generation of world-class leaders,” Brown said. “An internship allows students from either Ohio schools or Ohio communities to serve their state while gaining invaluable experience by working on a wide range of projects.”

“I am very thankful to have the opportunity to work alongside Senator Sherrod Brown and to serve my state,” said Mochanloo. “I hope to gain a better understanding of the legislative process to complement my interest in the judicial process and see firsthand how Congress enacts change.”

Interns work alongside staff members to address constituent requests and concerns. In Washington, D.C. a typical day could include speaking with constituents on the phone, greeting visitors to the office, organizing incoming correspondence, attending Senate committee hearings and briefings, and leading tours of the U.S. Capitol Building. 

Students may earn college credit in addition to the educational benefit and professional development opportunities.
