Advocate for 200+ children in Korea's social welfare system by enriching their lives through scholarships and outreach programs. Korean Kids and Orphanage Outreach Mission (KKOOM) is a U.S. based nonprofit and KKOOM (꿈) means "Dream" in Korean. Within three years of serving as Chief Administrator, I helped build a fund development plan to see a 220% increase in fundraising efforts to impact hundreds of children in Korea's social welfare system. As the Executive Director, I oversee all social media marketing, manage donor relations, email communications, and supervise our KKOOM interns. I maintain a strong rapport with three children's homes through regular communication in Korean, while also helping to ensure programming needs are met in South Korea.I invite you to visit our website at www.kkoom.org to learn more about the work we do.

As Chief Administrator, I had the honor of helping the organization implement a fund development plan and creating more awareness about the organization through social media communication. By supporting the Board President and Co-founder, I complete administrative tasks, fundraise to increase donor engagement, and plan current and future programming/projects.

I help build a culture of cultivating relationships with key stakeholders. I communicate with donors regarding Georgia GOAL deadlines and assist the Advancement Administrative Assistant to acknowledge donations. Through the Partner in Ed program, I help oversee the annual agreements/renewals of the Partner in Ed program helping to solicit, coordinate, and build relationships with the community. I implemented the inaugural Senior Legacy Gift Campaign for the Class of 2022. I resigned from this position to focus on my personal well-being.
