In
this blog post I am to interview one of my supervisors OR profile a
person who has a career that you aspire to... I thought about this
for a day or two about how I was going to go about writing this and
which side was I going to approach. I thought if I were being honest,
and interviewed my supervisor, or wen about the profile a person who
has a career that I aspire, it would be the same person. My
supervisor at the Town of Gilbert, Leah Hubbard, who was the head of
Intergovernmental Relations and then got the opportunity to take the
Assistant to the Town Manager position.
I
first met Leah when she came to my Reservation Economics class last
year, and spoke to us about her position with the Town of Gilbert
Intergovernmental Relations department. And as she broke down here
job responsibilities I started to realize that her position in
Intergov is basically the same thing I would be doing if I pursued a
position with my tribe in tribal politics after I graduate from ASU.
As a sovereign nation I would be basically be involved in
government-to-government relations for my tribe, dealing with all the
different governments. Instead of helping the Mayor of Gilbert I
would be involved with our tribal council and the chairman, the same
but different. I know she was first a lobbyist and worked her way to
intergovernmental relations, that is a path I would be only hopefully
I could take and gain that experience. Leah is a very educated
individual with a Bachelor of Arts in Government and Politics from
the University of Texas at Dallas and a Masters in Public Affairs
from the University of Texas at Dallas. I have been given nothing but
advise from Leah, and she continually asks me to ask her any
questions to help better my knowledge to get to where I want to be,
she wants to help me be successful.
Through
all I have gained so far I knew I made the right decision in applying
for this internship and I was lucky enough to make it past all other
candidates. I know I will learn a lot with my time at the Town of
Gilbert. And I hope maintain a good relationship with the Town and
staff after my time here is up.
