What did you know about victims’ rights before working at NCVLI?
Before working at NCVLI I knew nothing about victims’ rights. Moreover I did not know that there were some nonprofit organizations such as NCVLI whose everyday work is to try to help crime victims and improve their living condition after a crime.

What did you do while working at NCVLI?
While working at NCVLI I helped the staff to prepare the conference by searching hotels, activities and restaurants for the attendees at the conference. I also helped to prepare all the materials needed for this big event. After the conference I read all the evaluations of the conference and entered them in a tracking spreadsheet. Moreover, I worked on the Digest 101 by finding news about international crime victims’ rights.

What is something that stands out in your work with NCVLI?
The main thing that I will remember from my month with NCVLI is the Crime Victim Law Conference which I had the chance to attend. During these 2 two days I helped at the information table but also I had the opportunity to listen to some presenters. Even it was very difficult to understand everything it was really interesting to prepare and see all of that.
