Nicole Fernandes backfilled an Examiner's position and oversaw the Fish and Wildlife Service and U.S. Geological Survey within OMB.

She analyzed testimony, proposed regulation and rules changes and policies, tracked appropriations, and conducted performance reviews of the Department of Interior. Nicole gained a birds-eye view of how policies are created and implemented within the federal government and learned about several current natural resource issues. On a more personal level, she learned that she liked working in an intellectually stimulating environment where she was rarely bored.
