U.S. Senator Jim Risch, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, expressed his appreciation for the committee's fall 2025 interns and their contributions during the term.
“This fall, I was pleased to welcome interns to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee,” said Risch. “The international community is navigating a multitude of complex foreign policy issues, and these interns had the unique opportunity to witness how the U.S. Senate strategizes and responds. I’m grateful for all the work they’ve done and wish them luck in their next step.”
The three interns who served with the committee this fall were Emma Brulotte from Twin Falls, Idaho; Stephanie Zamora from Orlando, Florida; and Julian Tucker from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Emma Brulotte is pursuing a bachelor’s degree at Dartmouth College with interests in Middle East and Africa policy as well as energy security. She aims to work in international energy policy and finance.
Stephanie Zamora is working toward a bachelor’s degree in economics and politics at Hillsdale College. Her internship expanded her interest in human rights policy along with international trade and insurance. She plans to pursue a career in litigation.
Julian Tucker, an active-duty Marine Corps pilot now serving in the Reserves, graduated from the Naval Academy with a bachelor’s degree in history and will soon complete a master’s degree in security policy studies at George Washington University. He intends to continue working on defense and foreign policy issues.
