My role at the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society includes counseling active duty service members, veterans, and military affiliated families on their personal finances. I use Excel to create personalized budgets for each client, and then analyze their end-of-month surplus/deficit to guide them in creating new financial goals and budget adjustments. I review Society policy to determine if financial assistance can be granted in the form of an interest-free loan or grant. This work lessens the financial burden many military families experience, while educating them on purposeful spending and the importance of planning for their futures.• Create current-state budgets and budget forecasts for service members, veterans, and military families.• Analyze monthly expenses and guide client in budget improvements and financial goal setting.• Review policy and coordinate with other team members to find the best route of assistance to provide clients.• Personally issued over $50,000 in financial assistance to maintain military operational readiness.

As a tutor, I work with K-12 students on fundamental mathematics skills. I provide guidance on questions, walk the students through proper problem solving strategies, and create practice examples to ensure their understanding. This is all done through digital communications via a chat box, online whiteboard, and computer audio.• Support K-12 students with mathematics homework, test preparation, and general questions about mathematics.• Teach students proper problem-solving strategies to ensure efficient and accurate answer development.• Research unknown concepts concurrently with students to develop problem-solving approaches.
