What I'm looking for

I’m interested in opportunities in administration, program management, and training, as well as educational opportunities centered around college access and service-learning for high school and college students.

At Cultural Vistas, I work as Program Manager, Participant Support and Engagement. I previously served as a Visa Specialist there.

At The Washington Center, I was Manager, Federal Programs. Earlier, as Program Coordinator, Community-Based Learning at American University, I managed the Community Service-Learning Program and co-managed Explore DC, a welcome week service program for 500–900 incoming students.

At American University, I also supervised student coordinators and supported a three-year AmeriCorps VISTA grant with Students Organize to Understand Leader (SOUL). At Louisiana State University, I supported service-learning partnerships and helped with assessment, data collection, analysis, and reporting.

My work has included college access, service-learning, and intercultural exchange. I’m interested in administration, program management, training, and educational opportunities centered around college access and service-learning for high school and college students.
