VOTING MEMBER(S)

Dawn Regner, CP (SDPA's 2018 Paralegal of the Year) 

I was born in San Diego, but grew up in the Denver area, where I met and married my high school sweetheart.  We came back to San Diego in 1988 and have been here ever since!  

In 1989, I was hired as a temp by a high tech equipment leasing company to fill in for a  contracts administrator who was going on maternity leave.  I didn’t have any experience with legal contracts at that time, but I found that I truly enjoyed contracts administration, and the company hired me on a permanent basis.  

Thus began my career in the legal profession, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I’ve been fortunate to work for Fortune 500 companies such as GE Capital and Sony Electronics, and, shortly after graduating from Miramar's paralegal program in May 2016, began working in Qualcomm's corporate legal department negotiating non-disclosure agreements on a global basis.  I admit that I’m a bit of a “contracts geek”, and have found that my love for writing, language and the law have coalesced to find a unique home in the writing and negotiation of legal contracts. I also love working in-house, so shout-out to all those working in corporate legal departments! 

I have always had a passion for volunteerism and am thankful to have the opportunity to lead SDPA's Pro Bono Committee.  It inspires me greatly to see our members motivated to use their skills and passions in order to assist those in need. I also enjoy knitting, baking and reading, as well as spending time with my husband of 34 years and my grown children.

ASSOCIATE MEMBER(S)

Marissa Sansone

My name is Marissa Sansone and I was born and raised in San Diego. I graduated from the University of West Florida with a Bachelors Degree in Legal Studies/PreLaw and Minors in Public Administration and Community Health Promotion. I currently work at GEICO Staff Counsel. My hobbies and interests include volunteering, painting, baking, playing tennis and succulent collecting. What kick-started my interest in the legal field was a government class that I took in high school. My teacher introduced the class to case law and I really enjoyed reading how decisions were made by Judges in previous cases. Ever since then, I was intrigued and I knew that the legal field was the right path for me.

student MEMBER(S)

I was born in Guadalajara, Jalisco, in Mexico, but was raised my entire life in sunny San Diego, California.  I’m an intermediate Salsa Dancer and amateur Photographer in both digital and film.  I am bilingual. 

I currently work for Webb Law Group, APC. where Business and Real Estate litigation are our main areas of practice. 

I work in the legal field as I’m highly attracted to the order that comes with law.  With so much chaos in our society, it’s nice to know our society has established laws and systems through which we may obtain a legal peaceful remedy to our disagreements and arguments. Otherwise, people would be taking matters into their own hands or chose to be their own law, judge, jury, and executor.  I’m here to help maintain the peace and order with as much integrity as possible.
