He then interned for Washington Democratic Sen. Patty Murray and served 
as Obama For America’s Washington, D.C. youth director.

Skoric has also worked for The Small Business Project, Inc., as a 
business development analyst for a little more than two years. That 
organization describes itself as a company that “brings knowledge and 
expertise in starting small business programs to intermediaries, which 
in turn serve to strengthen small businesses locally,” focusing
