MY HISTORY

What was supposed to be just 10 weeks in English immersion has been going on for years.

When Daniela Capuano decided to study at the University of California, Irvine, that was the idea. Spend just 10 weeks.

In 2 weeks, the unexpected happened. An inattentive driver caused an adjustment to the plans. After a hospital battle, surgery, physiotherapy, Daniela realized that having the right people around was essential.

It was not easy to persist. Continuing the project required a lot of perseverance.

At the University of California, Daniela became the first international student to take the intensive Paralegal Program with practically perfect performance.

She got her driver's license, and bought her vehicle. In the meantime, Daniela worked hard to validate her bachelor's degree in law.

She was a volunteer paralegal at a non-profit institution that provides legal services to low-income veterans, the Veterans Legal Institute. In the same period, Daniela bought her first property in the United States.

For someone who arrived in the United States to spend 10 weeks, the goals achieved and challenges overcame are the proof that Daniela is competent to build the liaison between Brazil and the United States.
