I connect job seekers to employment through bilingual coaching, placement support, and community resources.
What I'm looking for
At Chrysalis, I provide individualized bilingual employment support for people experiencing homelessness and justice involvement, averaging 20 job placements each month. I coach clients through job readiness, applications, and interviews while connecting them with community resources and partner programs.
Previously at UCLA, I organized academic and sustainability-focused events, translated research into accessible public exhibits, and managed website content, procurement, and marketing support. I also built adaptable administrative experience across legal and pharmaceutical settings while handling confidential documentation with care.
