What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can apply my legal casework and bilingual customer-service skills in a collaborative, community-focused organization with growth opportunities.

I am a motivated Political Science undergraduate with hands-on experience in legal assistance and high-volume customer service. I have managed 30+ immigration cases, prepared USCIS forms, and consistently delivered exceptional service in retail and foodservice environments while balancing academic commitments.

Fluent in Spanish and proficient with SPSS and Microsoft Office, I bring strong communication, organization, and confidentiality practices. I thrive in fast-paced settings, support cross-functional teams, and am committed to contributing reliability and empathy to roles in legal services, public policy, or community-focused organizations.
