Emily Verrett Returned to Washington D.C.

There are a number of people who love cities they’ve visited at one point of time. Emily Verrett loved Washington D.C. so much that after she finished with school she packed up her car and left for D.C. What makes the story even more impressive is that Emily Verrett packed up her belongings and left without a job waiting for her and no place to live.

Emily Verrett traveled to Washington D.C. all on faith that she’d be able to get a job to support herself. Fortunately, Emily Verrett’s instincts and faith served her well and she started work in Washington D.C. at a boutique lobbying firm, Denny Miller Associates, as a Government Affairs Assistant.

It didn’t take Emily Verrett long before she started to climb her way up in the company. Emily Verrett eventually took the position of Operations and Events Manager. In this position it was her responsibility to organize fundraisers and during her time at Denny Miller Associates, Emily Verrett oversaw more than 20 fundraisers.

Emily Verrett’s return to Washington D.C. was driven by how much she enjoyed living and working in the city while she was an intern at the White House. While she was an intern she worked in the Former First Lady Laura Bush’s office. While her time there was only a semester long, Emily Verrett knew it was where she wanted to return to work after she successfully graduated from the University of Texas. And while she did return to Washington D.C. for work, she did eventually return to Texas and continue her education by earning her master’s degree.
