"America is a melting pot, and immigrants form a huge part of our society. I would like to be their voice through the law."

Concern for Others: It's The Elms Effect

I chose my first major, Spanish, because my parents are Colombian, and Spanish is their native language. It is one of the fasting growing languages in the United States, so I feel that having a Spanish major will benefit me greatly as I pursue a career in immigration law. My second major, legal studies, is a function of my parents being immigrants to the United States. I am also interested in international law, which is why I am planning to study in Spain.

The student paralegal association, volunteering, and tutoring at Elms have shaped my character and outlook. I was never really very interested in volunteer work before I came here. Tutoring has helped me better understand the material better. Working with the paralegal association has led to great networking opportunities.
