Nataly Azcurra.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAzcurra\u2019s passion for immigration law was sparked at a young age when Azcurra and her family moved from Buenos Aires, Argentina, to South Florida.<\/p>\n
Before coming to Stetson Law, she graduated from the University of Central Florida with a bachelor\u2019s degree in anthropology and a minor in Latin American studies. At UCF, she worked with the Americans for Immigrant Justice and her interest in the field grew exponentially.<\/p>\n
\u201cI got to see how immigration attorneys go about their days and work for their clients firsthand,\u201d Azcurra said.<\/p>\n
At Stetson, she continued to explore her enthusiasm for the law in other specialties. After her 1L year, Azcurra interned with the Florida International University College of Medicine Civil Justice Partnership doing Social Security Disability work under Natalie Castellanos, supervising attorney and assistant professor at the Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine at\u00a0FIU.<\/p>\n
\u201cWorking at FIU was an incredible experience because even though it wasn\u2019t directly related to my interest area, it dealt with an area of the law that I previously had zero clue about and still focused really heavily on social justice,\u201d Azcurra said.<\/p>\n
As a student at Stetson, Azcurra is involved on campus as the Hispanic Bar Association\u2019s public relations chairwoman and a member of the Labor and Employment Law Association. She credits LELA\u2019s email updates from faculty advisor, Professor Jason Bent, with notifying her about the fellowship application.<\/p>\n
During the fellowship, she will be spending her summer working in immigration law and helping provide employment services with Friends of Farmworkers, Inc. in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wanted to work with Friends of Farmworkers, because they do direct services with people,\u201d Azcurra said. \u201cI want to see how an actual lawyer can help farm workers in these communities.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
