NLIHC is pleased to welcome Brenna Olson as our fall 2021 policy intern! Brenna is a senior at American University (AU) pursuing her bachelor’s in communications, legal institutions, economics, and government. She is also beginning her master of public administration program at AU this fall. Brenna’s passion for addressing economic inequity started with a research project on the adverse effects of individualizing poverty, and she has continued to focus on advocacy for the lowest-income people ever since. Previously, she interned at Mercy Housing, where she worked with seniors who have experienced homelessness and housing insecurity. NLIHC is thrilled to have Brenna join us and continue her commitment to social and economic justice!
