What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to engage with communities, advocate for social justice, and utilize my skills in communication and outreach.

I am a dedicated and passionate Teacher Assistant with a strong commitment to fostering personal and professional growth through impactful community engagement. My experience in various volunteer roles has equipped me with the skills necessary to advocate for social justice and contribute to meaningful campaigns. I believe in the power of education and community involvement to create positive change.

Currently, I am leveraging my communication skills and interpersonal abilities as a Phone Banker and Teacher Assistant, where I engage with diverse communities and support educational initiatives. My background in community outreach has allowed me to develop strong relationships and advocate for important legislative measures, such as the Good Cause Eviction and the Green Light Law for immigrants.
