Fall doesn’t just bring pumpkin spice and college football, it also ushers in the next class of ACCG interns. Kellsie Rogers and Lexie Blake will be working with policy and research staff to collect data for the upcoming legislative session, survey counties, update guidebooks, and complete special research projects as needed.

Lexie Blake hails from Brunswick and is a first-year student in the Master of Public Administration program at the University of Georgia (UGA). Before entering the MPA program, Blake graduated from UGA with undergraduate degrees in public relations and political science. No stranger to internships, Blake previously worked with the Western Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s Office and a local Athens nonprofit. She feels these experiences have prepared her to be a policy and research intern at ACCG. Blake looks forward to learning more about statewide county policy initiatives since she is a Georgia native and is dedicated to serving local communities.

Kellsie Rogers is an undergraduate student at Georgia State University Honors College studying political science. She recently worked at the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office in the elections department and finished up a summer internship as a legal intern at the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office. Rogers is in her senior year and works as a criminal justice research intern at Georgia State. She is passionate about criminal justice reform and those incarcerated as she visits Hancock State Prison monthly with her classmates to discuss philosophy and poetry with inmates. Rogers plans to continue her education by completing a graduate program or going to law school and hopes her time at ACCG will influence her path after graduation.
