Work History
Internship
California State Dominguez Hills, SDRC
Carson, CA
01.2024 - 05.2024
I was involved in various aspects of the center’s operations, including assisting students in understanding their rights as individuals with disabilities, providing academic counseling, facilitating access to alternative media technologies, and conducting learning disability testing. Working alongside experienced professionals at the SDRC allowed me to gain valuable insights into how educational institutions can better support students with disabilities.
One of the most rewarding aspects of my internship was being able to provide direct support to students with disabilities. Whether it was helping them navigate academic accommodations, connecting them with resources on campus, or simply being a listening ear, I found great fulfillment in making a difference in their lives.
