Samantha Quezada, a Fall 2024 UCDC participant, was recently featured by the UCI School of Social Sciences!
From the piece: “Through interning locally with Congressman Correa’s office as well as in the capital as part of the UCDC program, she’s been able to familiarize herself with the ins and outs of legal work. ‘That definitely exposed me to not only what I thought legislation would be but also the back end,’ she said. In addition to administrative work, she got to attend briefings, meetings and committee hearings, as well as supporting constituent casework.
“UCI’s many career-oriented workshops, including an invaluable one on resumes, aided Quezada in locking down these positions. ‘That was something that was very, very helpful for me personally because, in D.C., applying for all those internships was very competitive,’ she said. ‘But I also heard back from all 15 internships I applied to except three.””
