In JC Penney I was in charge of my office organizing the daily reports on file, keeping weekly inventory in check, and data entry. On the Democratic Party I manage data collection, data entry into the van system, keeping track of invoices, and complete daily reports of the progress of the campaign. I have extensive teamwork experience from previous jobs in which I have to work with my colleagues to meet specific target goals such as sales or voter contacts metrics. I enjoyed working in a team because when everyone comes together we are able to accomplish more work.

Furthermore, I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science from the University of Arizona and a minor in Commerce. I decided to study Political Science because I strongly support social justice, immigration, and human rights. As an individual I belief in equality, everyone should have the same chances of becoming anything they want to be.

    I have always been interested in learning and using new ideas. Throughout my life, I have invariably drawn from my life experiences, newly learned ideas and my continuing education to help problem-solve sensibly and realistically allowing me to move forward or help others reach their goals. Although I have no formal teaching experience, in my past work and involvement in organized sports, I have repeatedly used the Progressive philosophy. When dealing with 13 & 14 year olds many situations arise such as bullying, personality clashes or simply not understanding a drill or play. I deal with these situations by asking questions to stimulate a discussion, allowing them to draw on past experiences; positive or negative, consequently allowing them to come up with a solution or grasp the knowledge they are seeking.…

    I do not think there are defense attorneys that do not work as hard to defend all of their clients because defense attorneys are supposed to defend clients even if they believe they are guilty. At any type of job, you are going work hard with your clients, so I think defense attorneys should work just as hard with their clients even if they have a hard time because they know their client is guilty. Defense attorneys are ethically bound to zealously represent all clients, the guilty as well as the innocent (Morales, San Francisco Criminal Law Blog papa #1). Defense attorney needs to work hard because chances are their clients is not going to tell them if they are guilty or not. If their clients say they are guilty, they could be lying, so…
