Carolina Guio is our 2023 Summer Intern

Carolina Guio will be joining Jones Health Law as our 2023 Summer Intern. Currently, she attends Nova Southeastern University, Shepard Broad College of Law and is expected to graduate in December 2023.

Internships at Jones Health Law are designed to give our interns the tools that they will need to successfully practice law once they graduate from law school.

Here are a few things that you should know about Carolina:

Where are you from?

I am originally from Colombia.

When did you move to America?

I moved to the United States full time in 2004.

Why did you decide to go to Law School?

I started my law school journey back in Colombia. After many years of working in the legal field as a paralegal it felt like a natural next step to pursue my law degree here in the US.

What interests you about Health Law?

I find Health Law an interesting area of the law because it is ever evolving.

What are you hoping to gain from this internship?

Health Law is a very niche and specialized area of law so I am excited to have the opportunity to gain direct exposure and knowledge from an expert in the field.

Welcome to the Jones Health Law Team, Carolina. We are very happy to have  you with us!
