What I'm looking for

I seek roles leveraging logistics, event coordination, and student support within mission-driven organizations that value community impact and growth.

I am a logistics and student-support professional with hands-on experience coordinating large volunteer events and delivering academic and socio-emotional support in under-resourced schools.

At City Year Los Angeles I coordinated schedules, managed transportation logistics, and co-led multiple events with 250+ participants, positively impacting over 500 students through school beautification and community engagement.

As an Academic Success Coach I served as a near-peer tutor and mentor, providing whole-class and small-group instruction, contributing 1700 hours, and designing school-wide initiatives to boost academic achievement and socio-emotional learning.

I also bring communications and creative skills from nonprofit roles — managing Instagram content, producing eBooks and promotional materials with Canva, and working with Lightroom/Photoshop and Microsoft Office to support outreach and program delivery.
