In my role as in English Teaching Assistant at a secondary school in Germany, I promoted appreciation for cross-cultural communication and English instruction. My focus was on supporting students' linguistic and personal development through small-group activities and 1:1 conversations.

While supporting MCHPP's Summer Food Service program, I facilitated a welcoming, judgment-free atmosphere for children and families at open lunch distribution sites and coordinated delivery of children’s lunches across Cumberland County, accommodating partner sites’ fluctuating needs and schedules.

In my role as a project assistant at the McKeen Center, I promoted the office's summer fellowships through information sessions and outreach. I also worked with students in the process of developing and revising their fellowship applications.Starting in January 2023, I took on additional responsibilities as the Communications Project Assistant. In this role, I prepared clear and engaging social media posts to highlight the Center's programs and initiatives.
