Work History
Victim Advocate
Athens-Clarke County Solicitor General’s office

- I manage my own caseload while also overseeing all Spanish-speaking cases in State court. My role involves providing resources to victims, informing them of upcoming court dates, and scheduling meetings. I also scan documents into Tracker and AXON to ensure accurate case management. Although I primarily work in state court, I also assist in municipal court when Spanish-speaking victims are involved.
Victim Witness Unit Intern
Cobb County District Attorneys Office
01.2024 - 04.2024
- I assisted Victim Witness advocates by making phone calls to victims to update them on their cases and upcoming court dates. I attended court and I also sent emails on behalf of advocates and entered case information into Tracker. Additionally, I provided translation services for Spanish-speaking victims. I have experience on cases, including domestic violence, murder, rape, DUI, and more. I helped organize case files and ensured they were stored in the correct locations.
