What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values community engagement and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a dedicated professional with a Bachelor's degree in Global Affairs and a minor in Linguistics from The University of Texas at San Antonio. My experience spans various roles, including as an Interpreter for TheBigWord, where I provide culturally sensitive interpretation between English and Thai in healthcare settings. My ability to facilitate communication in medical, administrative, and emergency contexts has been pivotal in ensuring that patients receive the care they need.

In addition to my interpreting work, I have served as a Project Coordinator for the Southwest Voter Registration Education Project. Here, I created engaging content that significantly increased online voter registrations by 35%. My efforts in organizing voter registration drives and educational events have fostered civic participation and awareness in the community. I also have experience in retail as a Sales Associate at Zara, where I honed my customer service skills and trained new hires, ensuring a high standard of service and organization on the sales floor.
