What I'm looking for

I am looking for an administrative or youth-focused role in a mission-driven organization where I can support programs, mentor young people, grow leadership skills, and contribute to community impact.

I am a Business Administration student (Class of 2027) with hands-on experience in youth mentoring, customer service, and administrative support. I bring dependable work habits, strong communication, and a service-driven leadership style.

As a Youth Success Mentor, I guided teens through academic and life-skill development, led workshops on career readiness, and managed pantry inventory and daily meal service to support student well-being.

My work history includes roles in fast-paced customer service, logistics, and education — from Burger King and UPS to classroom assistant and multiple civic internships — where I developed organization, outreach, and cross-cultural communication skills.

I build practical tools such as flyers and a basic website using HTML and JavaScript, and I use Canva for design. I am seeking opportunities to apply and expand my administrative and youth-focused skills in a mission-driven organization.
