WASHINGTON - This summer, U.S. Representative Jeff Denham (R-Turlock)
welcomed Jessica Boujikian onto his summer staff. The 20 year-old
hails from Fresno, California, and today completed her three month
internship in Denham's Washington, D.C., office.
Jessica was one of three summer interns in Rep. Denham's Washington,
D.C. office. She was selected as one of five Fresno State college
students to participate in the prestigious Maddy Institute Scholarship
Intern Program in the nation's capital. As part of her internship
responsibilities, Jessica was able to combine her experience and
interest in the agriculture industry to produce bill summaries and
briefing notes on some of this year's most important agriculture
legislation, including the 2012 Farm Bill.
`It's always an honor to welcome such hardworking young men and women
to my staff for the unique opportunity to gain firsthand knowledge of
the federal legislative process,' said Rep. Denham. `Having Jessica on
board this summer has been an invaluable benefit to our team, and I
know that her hard work has made her family and friends in Fresno very
proud.'
`Coming to DC for me was all about trying to make sense of what I
wanted to dedicate my life to,' Jessica Boujikian said. `Looking back
now, I have learned that a political career is more than just a job
you sign up for; it's a dedication to a lifestyle, a way of being that
requires you to continuously build and adapt yourself while still
holding on to the values and lessons you grew up with.'
Boujikian will begin her junior year at Fresno State University, where
she is majoring in Political Science. She is a Dean's List Honors
student, who spends her time in California working on the family farm
and volunteering in various capacities. Jessica will be graduating
early from Fresno State and sees herself returning to D.C. in the near
future.
Jessica is the daughter of Shirley and Mark Boujikian.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Jessica Boujikian is also the granddaughter of
long-time community leader and activist Manas and Donalee Boujikian.
