Internship Spotlight

I am a Summer Legal Intern 1 at the Law Office of Marlene A. Johnson, P.C. My main areas of responsibility are bankruptcies and elections, but I’ve also done research on basic case procedures and created in-office and client manuals to explain the process, so Attorney Johnson does not have to every time.

During my internship I had a handful of responsibilities. At Wound Care I was responsible for making reminder calls, sending faxes, filing patient’s files and paperwork. At times I would help clean wheelchairs and run errands.

My internship responsibilities at Florida International University's Center for Children and Families Summer Treatment Program is to provide tailored behavioral treatment for a group of eleven 8 year old boys that have been diagnosed with ADHD, LD, ODD, CD or a number of all of these disorders.

I supported the Risk-Team in the Financial Service department in the Advisory Service Line of EY. Throughout my internship I helped with data analyzes, professional research as well as the preparation of presentations for workshops and client appointments.
