Grossmont College students Rania Shaker and Vondila Margo are gaining hands-on leadership experience in public service while helping fellow students discover internships, career opportunities, and community connections through their work with San Diego County Supervisor Joel Anderson.

Shaker, a business student who previously completed a data analytics engineering program through University of California, Berkeley, first connected with Supervisor Anderson’s office after attending a networking mixer at Grossmont College. After sharing her resume with employers at the event, she was encouraged to apply for the county internship program and was quickly hired. She later advanced into her current role as internship coordinator.

“The whole point of the internship program was that he creates job opportunities for students in San Diego, so they don’t have to look elsewhere,” Shaker said. “Supervisor Anderson really is an amazing leader that teaches us and empowers us from within.”

Margo, an administration of justice student transferring to San Diego State University, joined the internship program while still in high school after hearing a classroom presentation about the opportunity. She completed both legislative and executive internships before becoming a community outreach coordinator in the office.

For both students, balancing college with public service work has created opportunities to support their community, while Grossmont College has helped guide their journeys.

“I love that Grossmont College offers so many workshops and ways to help with transferring and navigating college,” Margo said. “If I need help, I know who to go to and where to find it.”

Shaker said Grossmont College faculty and staff also helped her grow as a leader and mentor by strengthening the communication and leadership skills she now uses while supporting interns.

“The knowledge I gained at Grossmont College and my professors has been invaluable,” Shaker said. “I wouldn’t be here without Grossmont College.”
