What I'm looking for

I am looking for community-centered roles combining education, program coordination, and event planning where I can lead projects, support local partners, and use my cross-cultural communication skills to create measurable impact.

I am a community-focused educator and organizer with hands-on experience teaching English, coordinating community programs, and managing administrative operations across the U.S. and Albania. I design and run projects that prioritize women's empowerment, youth engagement, and inclusive learning.

My background includes Peace Corps service teaching at the high school level, coordinating after-school clubs and health projects, and supporting clinic operations and social media efforts in healthcare settings. I have also provided administrative support to executive leadership in a technical nonprofit and served as a teaching assistant at the university level.

I bring strong communication skills, project planning and event coordination experience, and practical digital tool fluency (Google Workspace, WordPress, QuickBooks, Canva). I seek opportunities where I can combine education, community development, and program coordination to create measurable local impact.
