Catie Tatom - Boise Spring 2026

College/University:

Boise State University

Major:

Political Science and Legal Studies.

Policy Areas of Interest:

Education, Immigration, Technology and AI.

Goals after Graduation:

After graduation, I hope to attend law school. Currently, I am interested in corporate or business law; however, I am interested in expanding my knowledge and learning about all facets of law.

Favorite Part of Idaho and Why:

McCall — I grew up spending most summers on the lake and I believe there are very few things in the world close to the beauty of the city and the peacefulness of the environment.

What Led You to Applying for this Internship:

What led to applying to the internship: I wanted to learn more about what it means to work in politics. I have never considered politics as a career path and wanted to understand more about what goes into policy work and expand my knowledge.

Additional Thoughts:

I have already gained a wealth of knowledge and have been exposed to career paths I did not know existed. The Crapo staff has been overwhelmingly welcoming and supportive allowing me ample opportunities for education and growth.
