Anika Potnis
Research Intern and Student
Seattle Department of Transportation and Uplift Northwest
My role involves helping low-income individuals looking for employment find transportation benefits that meet their needs.
I love getting to interact with the diverse clientele I come across on a day-to-day basis.
As a university student, I spend most of my time in class and studying. However, on the days I go to work, I walk individuals through the process of signing up and qualifying for research studies that provide subsidized transportation.
Working with people in the academic community of my University helped me find a position at Uplift Northwest.
I hope to go to law school to become a lawyer one day.
I love spending time with my pets, drawing, and hiking in the Seattle, WA mountains.
