What are some skills/ competencies (NACE) that you developed during your
internship?
Throughout my internship I became familiar with legal language and terminology. Learning this
style of writing improved my written communication skills as I was forced to write in a clear,
concise manner.
How does this experience connect to your future career goals?
My direct access to Attorney Moreno and her cases gave me insight into the daily proceedings of a
legal professional. I also deepened my knowledge and understanding of issues surrounding
immigration and Latin America. Through my internship experience, I found the importance of
pursuing a career that I will not only enjoy, but will help others.
What advice would you give to other Holy Cross students?
Try everything! Just because you do an internship in one field does not mean you are bound to that
career path. Try it, and if you don’t like it then you are one step closer to finding what you are
passionate about.
