Mortenson Taggart Adams LLP (MTA) is proud to recognize Evelyn Martinez as our first Project SELF intern. Project SELF, which stands for Summer Employment in Law Firms, is a Project Youth Orange County Bar Foundation initiative supporting Orange County’s youth through career exploration and hands on legal internships.
This summer, we welcomed Evelyn to MTA as a paid Finance Intern for an 8‑week internship. In addition to her work for the firm, MTA is also pleased to share that Evelyn was selected as a First Legal scholarship recipient, reflecting her hard work in and out of the classroom—where she has earned a remarkable 4.6 GPA—and her exceptional character.
MTA’s Director of Financial Operations, Alex Burciaga, to whom Evelyn reported directly, said this about the young superstar: “I had the pleasure of welcoming Evelyn to our firm, and she was nothing short of amazing. She carefully followed instructions, integrated seamlessly with our staff and attorneys, and quickly became a valued part of the team. She also built strong relationships with associates across different practice groups, even joining them for several lunches. Evelyn is an exceptional scholar, and I look forward to seeing all that the future holds for her.”
MTA looks forward to continuing our partnership with Project Youth OCBF and supporting future Project SELF interns to help these young men and women explore careers in the legal field and beyond.
