A huge congrats to our student intern, Brayden Finley! 🎓🎉 He is graduating with majors in Public Relations and Political Science with a minor in Spanish.

What’s next?: I am currently undecided on what I am doing after graduation, but I am on the job hunt and hoping to travel!

Some things you’ve learned: During my time at Iowa State and the LDST department, I have met so many great people who have taught me how to be a better teammate and communicator. The connections I have made and the lessons I have learned will stay with me as I move forward, regardless of where my career takes me.
