Upon Via West's reopening after the COVID shutdown, I returned as an Assistant to the Associate Director of camp, where I balanced multiple responsibilities. I supervised camp counselors as a lodge leader, ensuring smooth activity flow and fostering team cohesion.

I managed counselor availability to meet camper needs and kept staff informed with regular updates and reminders.

As a CSR Intern at PANW, I collaborated with leaders from each Employee Network Group, 25+ non-profit partners, and both the Branding and DEI Teams. I developed a calendar for Employee Network Groups, featuring volunteer opportunities hosted by partnered non-profits throughout the fiscal year. A major project involved organizing both remote and in-person volunteer activities for over 50 interns, including creating and distributing a survey, managing a budget for materials, and facilitating two events. This initiative resulted in a $1,000 donation to a non-profit supporting women and children in need.

As a home care provider/live-in caregiver, I provided overnight support to my autistic roommate. I assisted with many things including activities of daily living (showering, bathroom support, etc), giving medication, and engaging in activities that they wanted to participate in. I also assisted with keeping common areas clean, filling out paperwork, and communicated updates with other staff.

As the Training and Recruitment Manager at Via West, I revamped the camp training program to be more detailed and hands-on, including coordinating and facilitating a comprehensive 2-3 day training for new staff. I also co-led development training for current staff, updating Safety Care procedures and organizing a 2-day training to address new policies, while utilizing surveys to measure effectiveness and employee satisfaction. I improved the performance evaluation process by implementing a 360-degree evaluation system and training leadership staff on delivering constructive feedback. Additionally, I managed camp operations for 70+ campers and 30+ staff members, successfully hired 100+ seasonal staff and volunteers within 8 months, and facilitated the onboarding process, including background checks and paperwork. Unfortunately, COVID-19 led to the shutdown of camp operations in April 2020.

In this role, I transitioned from camp duties to a dual role involving both office and camp responsibilities, focusing on HR recruiting and hiring needs. I created marketing materials for open positions, posted job descriptions on Handshake, and managed the employee referral program. I screened resumes, conducted telephone interviews, and began training new employees for counselor and program staff positions. Additionally, I handled seasonal work contracts and tracked employee availability to optimize scheduling and operational efficiency.

In this supervisory role as a camp counselor, I enhanced my leadership skills by supporting and coaching counselors, program staff, and campers. I played a key role in providing performance evaluations and skill transfers to improve program delivery. Additionally, I collaborated with camp directors to coordinate and execute camp activities, including assigning support staff and volunteers to ensure smooth operations and effective program management.

As the Program Director at Via West, some of my responsibilities included supervising program staff, creating program activities for 2-3 weekends each month, ensuring the smooth transition between each program, and organizing materials for each program activity.

By my final year, I contributed to impactful projects like Capital Management, which involved running audit reports and utilizing advanced Excel functions. My experience at Cisco not only honed my technical and leadership skills but also deepened my understanding of cross-departmental operations and corporate dynamics.
