I plan on attending law school next year and going into family law. I am currently an intern here with CASA. I work closely with Emily and Arden on helping them with whatever tasks they need: attending training with a new round of CASA applicants, taking notes during court hearings, and any other tasks that help with the operation of the organization. I am super excited to be interning here and learning more about the child welfare system." |
