Roberto Suarez:  

international relations, education, business and law. I have worked as an ESL teacher for the LaSallian Christian Brothers in Kansas City Missouri in the summer of 2000. Starting September 2001 until present I work special events with Kurth Lampe a public relations and political advising firm in Chicago. I was able to land this position through my fraternity, Phi Kappa Theta. I work special events by setting up video and audio equipment, assisting the press for setup and assisting in preparing press releases before and after the events. I have worked with the United Nations Association of the United States, the Center for International Rehabilitation, the Better World Campaign, the Muhammad Ali Center and John Schmidt Candidate for Illinois Attorney General in 2002. Through this job I have been able to make many business contacts and meet with extraordinary people such as, Muhammad Ali, Paul McCartney, Jessie Ventura, Mayor Daley, Leah Hope and William Kennedy Smith. During the summer of 2002 I interned for my fraternity Phi Kappa Theta in Indianapolis Indiana. I was actually an intern for Phi Kappa Theta Foundation, the business aspect of the Fraternity. I assisted with fundraising by processing donations by alumni and Phi Kappa Theta affiliates. I also assisted with the coordinating of Phi Kappa Theta's Leadership Conference in Washington DC. I worked special events for Kurth Lampe and worked as a paralegal for Tobin Petkus & Munoz, Attorneys at Law in Chicago and I also worked as Graduate Assistant for International Admission at Lewis University in Romeoville Illinois. As a paralegal, I filed state and federal cases, I researched open and closed cases and I assisted during trial preparation and during trial, with organizing exhibits, developing trial notebooks and research new discoveries. As Graduate Assistant for International Admission at Lewis University, I recruited international students for undergraduate and graduate admission. I have to update new regulations from the State Department in order to comply with all regulations, including from INS. I also assist with forming partnerships with international recruiters and develop marketing strategies to improve on enrollment. My current position is promotion from grad assistant to Coordinator for Multicultural & International Admission at Lewis University. I recruit students, while developing special programs with CPS. I am also an adjunct faculty member for the foreign language department. I hope my work experience assists me to one day work as diplomat out of the United States for the United Nations or possibly the State Department. If I do not end up in governmental affairs I hope to work for a non-profit organization that supports and educates the population on international relations. After working in the field and fulfilling my purpose or call in life, I would like to work as a consultant in the fields of international relations and business, while teaching part-time at a small university.
