With EF, I work as an English language teacher with adults seeking to continue their studies.

As the Program and Development Administrator at Promises2Kids, I managed three direct service programs, provided vital resources to San Diego's foster youth population, while also organizing various fundraising and community awareness events. The programs provided the essential support that foster children need to develop into healthy, self-sufficient adults. Educating the community on the needs of current and former foster youth is critical for the continuation of these services and the ultimate success of these children.Some of my responsibilities included but were not limited to organizing small to medium scale fundraising events, implementing an online giving campaign, managing the organization's social media outlets, soliciting donations, grant writing, coordinating events for participating youth, managing our financial support programs and the recruitment and training of volunteers.

At ACS, I recruited team leaders and participants for the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk. I provided fundraising coaching and assistance to the teams as well customer service support for the website.
