Work History

Associate Director

Department of Intercultural Affairs, Student Association
01.2025 - 05.2025
  • The Department of Intercultural Affairs advocates for unity amongst the diverse cultural organizations to promote diversity, inclusion, and cultural awareness at the university. I facilitate programs and events as well as collaboration between all the cultural organizations on campus. I planned the Cultural Carnival for Intercultural Affairs in April by serving food and providing food to the students.

Community Needs Assessment Student Assistant

Office of Health Promotion
02.2024 - 05.2024
  • As an employee, I helped advertise three focus groups as I followed the standardized focus group protocol. As I implemented the groups, my time was spent writing a reflection on each of the focus groups after the facilitation. Once the facilitation ended, I would listen to the recording of the focus group and write a report with the major themes. My main objective was to help the focus groups advocate for policies and practices while helping them understand the experiences of their peers. As a Community Needs Assessment Student Assistant, I prioritized the well-being at all levels of the university to create communities where students can thrive. Our main focus was to offer services and programs that address the mental, physical, and sexual health of students.

Childcare Provider

Happy Tots, LLC Daycare
05.2023 - 07.2023
  • I assist infant and preschool children with early education by providing the building blocks for their future. The activities within the daycare help develop emotional, physical, cognitive, and Language. I read books to the children while also overseeing their care by providing them their food and snacks during the day. Also, I safely aided the children on trips to the park so they have interactive activities to do.
