Dear Isabel:

Thank you for the opportunity to intern with this agency. Not only was it a pleasure meeting you, but also working side by side with you and learning something new each day. I had the opportunity to work with several administrators at this agency and each one had new knowledge to share with me. Isabel you are an extraordinary employee that is not afraid to show what you know and develop other employees to do their best, this is commendably essential to this agency. 

Thank you for taking the time and displaying patience as you trained me each day. You gave me the opportunity to understand the process of commutation, parole and revocations as well as the clemency process. As an intern with the Board of Executive Clemency, I was impressed with the amount of law knowledge needed to carry out this job. I had the privilege to witness several board hearings that allowed me to grow not only as a professional criminology major, but also as a person. My view of the criminal justice system with pardons and paroles have changed since taking on this internship. I have more respect for those that work behind the scenes to ensure that everyone in the department of corrections has a fair due process.

The experienced acquired in this agency, I know will help me in the future. I will be able to use earned skills in the criminal justice field. Again, thank you for the opportunity and I am glad I had the opportunity to work together with this amazing team that makes the Board of Executive Clemency what it is today. Thus, ensuring public safety and giving second chances to those inmates that do not pose a threat to society. More than this, your friendship is truly appreciated. Again, thank you.

Sincerely,

Olivia Zelaya
