"Everyday for me is great. I am learning a lot. My English has improved a great deal and I have something to show the legal industry. With the skills I have gained and the networking opportunities, I have another face to show." Through an informational interview with UpGlo alum, Diana Otero, Clara began a volunteer assignment with Catholic Charities in San Francisco which turned into a paid position as an immigration advocate working with refugees and asylees, many from Latin America.
