in September 2013, I was fortunate to
be offered a Paralegal Internship with
the UCSD Career Clinic – California De-
partment of Fair Employment & Housing.
This career clinic opportunity not only
further enhanced the skills I obtained in
the Paralegal program, but is the sole
reason why I was hired by my current
employer.The education I obtained from
the program provided me with a solid
foundation of skills that were instru-
mental in helping me quickly learn the
