Where do you live?
Just outside of Washington, DC in Arlington, VA. It’s slightly cheaper than DC proper and I have a bit more space but still close enough to DC that commuting there for work is super easy! I absolutely love where I live and plan to stay in the area for as long as I can. I was born and raised in North Carolina, though, and I’ve been in DC since fall of 2020.
What do you do for work?
I work on the digital side of political fundraising. This means that I work on things like text messages, emails, and digital ads in order to raise money for campaigns. I absolutely love my job and could talk about politics for hours!
How do you get a job/internship in politics/DC? Do you have any advice?
I’d be happy to chat with you if this is something you’re interested in! However, I feel like this is a conversation best had via phone or Zoom instead of over text. Send me a DM on Instagram or shoot me an email at taliasoniaw@gmail.com if you want to talk! I’m always glad to help wherever I can.
What do you use to take your photos? Who takes them for you?
I take all my photos on my iPhone 11 Pro Max. Most of my photos I take myself using a tripod and the timer on my Apple Watch, but my boyfriend does occasionally play photographer for me.
Where did you go to school and what did you major in?
I went to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where I double majored in Media and Journalism (concentrating in public relations) and Political Science. I also minored in business.
Where did you get X from?
All of my Instagram photos are linked on my LTK and you can shop from there. If you can’t find something, shoot me a DM on Instagram! I’m always happy to provide links for you.
What size are you wearing in [piece of clothing]?
Depending on the brand, I can range from an XS to a medium, but I’m usually a size small. I’m also typically a size 9 in shoes. If you want sizing info on something, feel free to ask me via Instagram DM!
