Hi There!
I’m Paola Rosas
About me
My name is Paola Rosas. I started my career back in 2008, after finishing my LL. B in Panama.For the last 8 years I have focused on corporate law, but the highlight of my career was working for the Panama’s National Customs Authority, fighting against smuggling, counterfeiting and piracy. I am driven by a passion to enforce the law. Working with INTERPOL and the World Customs Organization was particularly fulfilling. To be part of a team that fought against criminal activity in various spheres was an honor and the greatest professional experience of my life.
So, tired of working in an office, doing the same thing every day for the last 8 years, I decided to change the course of my career, and enroll in a program that would take me closer to what I’m really passionate about.
I’m now pursuing a Diploma in Investigation - Public and Private at Sheridan College's Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning. I am in my first year and will graduate in April 2023.
