ABOUT MATTHEW RICHARDS

I am a rising junior majoring in Political Science and minoring in Mathematics at Haverford College, where I also play lacrosse and act in school theatre productions. When I am home for school breaks I work as a barback at a local bar, the Surf Club. This summer I was a legislative intern on the Hill, and next summer I will be interning at RBC Capital Markets. Previously, I worked at The Herald Group, a communications and issue advocacy firm in Washington, DC. Prior to my time there, I worked for Kimbell and Associates as a year long Government Affairs Intern. During my internship I helped the 6 full-time lobbyists and five healthcare policy experts provide legislative, regulatory and policy solutions to clients in the life sciences community. Additionally, I was sent to two swing states, North Carolina and Georgia, to survey voters on behalf of the firm. At St. George\'s I held a 4.0 GPA while playing Varsity Football (captain), Hockey, and Lacrosse (captain). Summer 2019 I stayed with a host family in Paris while working as a business intern for InDerm, a french cosmetic company. During my time at St. George\'s I was a prefect, the head of the writing lab, french lab, and the admission tour guide program. I was also inducted into the French Honors Society, and awarded the Allen Prize, Centennial Prize, and the Powel Cup at graduation.
