Hello, I am one of the HS graduate interns for the Youth, School & Community Partnerships Department. I graduated from De Anza Highschool in June 2025. This fall ‘25 I will be a freshman at San Jose State University with the intent to pursue a degree in Business Administration concentrated in Management and minor in
Marketing! I applied for this internship to make college more attainable, add this internship to my resume, get involved with my community and fellow neighbors of San Pablo. As I am almost done with the program, I am surprised to say I will miss it here and would love to come back sometime in future after I obtain my degree! Maria Uriarte

My name is Julieta Gaytan, and I am currently a student at Leadership High School in Richmond, California. I joined the Youth, School & Community Partnerships internship program to gain meaningful experience, strengthen my resume, and become more involved in the community of San Pablo. I have a strong interest in government— particularly in the area of City Management—and I plan to pursue a degree in Business Management. My ultimate goal is to attend Stanford University and use my education to support and lead positive change in local government. As my time in this internship comes to an end, I’m truly grateful for the opportunity and look forward to returning in the future after I complete my studies.

My name is Ram Panati, I am currently an incoming junior at Hercules High School located in Hercules, CA. In the future I intend to pursue higher education and attain an Electrical Engineering & Computer Science degree. I plan to use my knowledge and education to support the public and give back to the community. One of the core reasons I applied to this internship was because I have always been extremely interested in Public Works and understanding how local governments work. Throughout my time interning in the City Manager’s Office, I’ve learned a lot of skills and gained insight into the functions of local city governments. As the internship is coming to a close, I am thankful for the valuable experience I gained and will forever remember the lessons I’ve learned.
