During my AmeriCorps term with Rebuilding Together Seattle, I had the pleasure of establishing relationships on behalf of Rebuilding Together with community organizations, senior centers, and elected officials to recruit participants and raise awareness of our organization's free home repairs for low-income homeowners. Additionally, I independently managed multiple simultaneous projects across Seattle during National Rebuilding Month, reengaged and revitalized Board of Directors’ Outreach Committee, and supported the development of a home assessment program for City of Renton’s Sunset Area Transformation Plan.

As a Teacher's Assistant for the Early Learning Program at Central Connecticut State University, I supported colleagues in developing and executing daily preschool lesson plans, worked directly with students, and often served as primary point of contact for parents and guardians.

During the 2017 legislative session of the Connecticut General Assembly, I supported a first-term State Representative in constituent outreach and service. My responsibilities included researching upcoming events and emerging issues in the legislative district, using database management software to maintain lists of constituent service requests and legislative advocacy, and corresponding with constituents on the phone and by email.

During this capstone experience for my A.A.S. in Early Childhood Education, I served as a student teacher in Hartford's Parkville Community School. In this role, I observed and collaborated with seasoned educators to develop best practices for serving a culturally and academically diverse Pre-K classroom. Over the course of the term, I completed regular reflection journals, developed lesson plans, and led one week of classroom instruction.

As an au pair form 2010 to 2011, I provided live-in childcare for two children, ages 5 and 7. In preparation for this position, I completed educational programs with the Cultural Care Au Pair Training School and the College of Saint Rose.
