The staff in my district office routinely grows with the help of interns from local universities, including Lehigh and Moravian. This fall, we are fortunate to be assisted by two very capable and friendly interns from Lehigh University. If you’ve visited my office or called recently, you may have met Camila and/or Sophia. They’ll be with us until the beginning of December, and we know they are destined for great things as they move forward toward graduation and beyond. If you haven’t met them yet, you can learn a little more about both here.
Camila Mora is a senior at Lehigh University majoring in Political Science and pursuing minors in Public Administration, Real Estate, and Mass Communications. Originally from San Francisco, California, Mora aims to attend law school and build a career as an attorney. In her free time, she volunteers with the Arctic Defense Campaign on campus and works at Broughal Middle School as a teacher’s assistant and tutor.
Sophia Merlino is a senior at Lehigh University majoring in Political Science and History, with a minor in Latin American and Latino Studies. She is also pursuing an accelerated master’s degree in Secondary Education through Lehigh’s College of Education, with hopes of building a career in Education Policy. In her free time, Merlino serves as a Student Coordinator for Lehigh’s Community Service Office, president of the History Club, and treasurer for the College Democrats. She shares, “My experiences within Bethlehem have led me to understand the true meaning of community, and I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to further this connection and learn through my time at the Representative’s office!”
