Interview with Heather Podesta : John Gardner Fellowship Association Oral History Project
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Heather Miller Podesta (John Gardner Fellow, Class of 1993) recalls being encouraged to apply to the John Gardner Fellowship as a student at UC Berkeley, her interview, and her fellowship in the office of Senator Bill Bradley, where she worked as a legislative fellow on NAFTA and on an FAA reauthorization bill. She also describes her career after the fellowship, which included working in a law firm on maritime and aviation issues, working for the Air Transport Association as assistant general counsel during 9/11, and then returning to Capitol Hill and eventually starting her own government relations firm. Additionally, Podesta mentions being sexually harassed at one of her early jobs and reflects on her support system throughout her career. Podesta credits her experiences and success to the John Gardner Fellowship and talks about fundraising and fellowship updates with interviewer David Moguel.
