I wake up ver early in the morning. I start work at 9am and first thing I do is check the office voice mail and text messages. Then I check the emails and reply to any Spanish speaking person. I started to handle the attorney’s calendar, so I add the court hearings, depositions and deadlines.Continue reading “What my routine looks like”

Since continuing my spring semester research into the summer, I have gotten more in-depth in seeing the inequalities that are apparent within the farmworker community. These inequalities have become more clear due to the Covid 19 pandemic that had forced so many farmworkers to lose their jobs and their needed income.

A maze rich in authenticity and screaming tradition. Cobblestone streets buzzing with the sound of meat sizzling on a grill, hagglers working to make sales, and if your lucky, one of the five daily calls to prayer which seems to give new life to the already bustling city.

I expect to gain a deeper perspective of the community of Tallahassee through my interactions with people and children outside of theContinue reading “Who am I?”

My experience is in Tallahassee in Sword and Shield Attorneys, a law firm. It has been a pretty good first week. I was pretty much given instructions on what my job was, a translator and interpreter. However I usually do more things around the office. I help around with filing, emails, communicating with clients, etc.Continue reading “First week”

This past week, I have started to continue the research I was conducting during the spring semester with my research mentor Dr. Grzywacz. The research project is called “Preparing for the Next Pandemic.” It revolves around how Covid 19 has impacted the farmworker community and how we can prevent this type of destruction from happeningContinue reading “The Start of Summer Research”

The first few weeks of working at Pinellas County emergency management have been an interesting few. There is nothing quite like investing into an emergency management department in the few days leading up to the beginning of hurricane season in a year that is predicted to be very active for hurricanes. That being said, itContinue reading “Finding my footing”
