What I'm looking for

I seek a role combining counseling and program coordination where I can support client education and career outcomes, collaborate with partners, and grow professionally.

I am a dedicated career counselor and educator with experience supporting refugees, English language learners, and college students. I organize case systems, design workshops, and deliver individualized career planning that helps clients access education and employment opportunities.

I developed a case filing system aligned with Office of Refugee Resettlement standards, trained staff on enrollment eligibility for the Refugee Career Pathways program, and managed an active caseload while coordinating cross-department communication.

My background includes internships and student roles managing enrollments, conducting intakes in English and Spanish, creating outreach materials and newsletters, and supporting archival and research projects. I was awarded a research fellowship and presented at a regional historical association conference.

I hold a BA with distinction and am completing a TQUK Level 5 TEFL certificate. I seek roles where I can combine counseling, program coordination, and educational support to advance client outcomes and build community partnerships.
