Eric Dotson
Kosciusko
Summary
I’m currently a student at the University of Mississippi, graduating in December 2027, with a strong interest in pursuing a legal career—particularly in immigration law. I'm passionate about understanding the legal and political systems that shape people’s lives, and I am eager to gain hands-on experience that deepens my understanding of both.
With a background in translating, strong active listening skills, and a natural talent for organization, I bring a unique set of strengths that will serve me well in the legal field. I’m especially interested in opportunities that allow me to apply these skills while learning from experienced professionals in law, government, or public policy.
I’m actively seeking internships, volunteer opportunities, or mentorship that can help me grow within the legal and political spheres, with a long-term goal of advocating for immigrant communities through legal work.
