Fishers Native Serves Internship at Statehouse 

Fishers native Elisabeth Falk is gaining experience as an intern at the Indiana Statehouse during the 2025 legislative session.

Falk, a Fishers Christian Academy graduate, is the daughter of Carlene and Todd Falk. She is currently a junior at Indiana University Indianapolis and majoring in criminal justice.

“This internship has opened my eyes as to what goes into the legislative process,” Falk said. “This may seem like a simplistic answer, but there is so much more involved in ensuring legislation benefits all Hoosiers. I am happy to play a small, but significant part in making meaningful change for our state.”

As a legislative intern, Falk corresponds with constituents through phone calls, letters and emails while also staffing committee hearings and floor proceedings.

“Elisabeth plays an integral role in helping both members and constituents throughout session,” State Rep. Alaina Shonkwiler (R-Noblesville) said. “She is developing essential skills that will benefit her as a criminal justice major and into her professional career.”

At the start of each year, the House of Representatives offers paid internship opportunities to college students, law-school students, graduate students and recent college graduates for the duration of the annual legislative session.
