  1. Hello Caridad,

    I'm a student at MiraCosta College and President of the Medical Administrative Club on campus. I've had the pleasure of attending the career panel workshop and hearing you speak twice. I enjoy your presentations because you always provide insight and excellent Internet resources. Thank you for sharing your blog -- it's inspiring me to continue working on my eportfolio once the semester is done.
