  Ms. WILSON of Florida. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor the service of 
Edwidge Labbe, my intern who has completed her Summer 2022 semester 
serving the people of Florida's 24th Congressional District. Edwidge 
has proven to be a very articulate young woman and shows great promise 
for her future endeavors.
  Edwidge has assisted my office in various areas, such as education 
policy, constituent outreach, and research. She has demonstrated her 
ability to adapt and ask questions. Edwidge has presented excellent 
drive and a continuous willingness to learn.
  The daughter of Jeanphillipe and Martine Labbe, Edwidge was raised in 
Delray, Florida. A proud Gator, she is enrolled in the University of 
Florida where she studies at the College of Liberal Arts. She also 
volunteers at Lake Forest Elementary in hopes of closing the 
opportunity gap amongst Black and brown children.
  Upon transitioning from her internship, Edwidge will return to school 
to complete her final semester. She will continue to nurture her 
knowledge and use her experience and developing expertise to bridge the 
gap between experiential learning and professional development.

  On behalf of Florida's 24th Congressional District, I ask my 
colleagues to join me in honoring Edwidge Labbe for her present and 
future accomplishments.
