I worked part time as an administrative assistant in the International Education Programs office at Seattle Central College. The office served approximately 2,000 international students. Not only was I the first point of contact for international students as they came into our office, but I did a number of administrative tasks, such as filing, preparing documents, scheduling appointments, and answering phones and emails.

I managed relationships with educators across the country and sold educational travel experiences to them and their students. I used cold calling and other prospecting techniques to build a successful book of business. I stayed in contact with my clients through out the entire sales process, and after closing to make sure that their students and students families were comfortable with the process of signing up for the trip and getting ready to go. When I left Explorica, I left on good terms with my clients as to ensure a smooth transition to working with my colleagues in the next season of trip planning.

My primary role was to communicate with and advise students who wished to study abroad, were currently abroad, or were returning from studying abroad in group and one-one-one settings. I also planned and promoted campus and community wide events. I assisted in outreach activities to increase participation in study abroad at UCCS, and I created and managed social media accounts for our office, as well as updated the website (Studio Abroad and Terra Dotta systems). I managed the front desk and answered the phones, as well as helped with other administrative tasks.

During my first semester at Invisible Children, as a Movement Communications Intern, I was responsible for upholding relationships with supporters of the organization, as well as fostering new relationships and continuing to build the support network. Through those relationships, I was responsible for booking educational presentations for the New England region. Shortly after I was hired, the organization released a video that quickly became the most viral video in the history of the internet. I then took on multiples roles at a time as our organization tried to keep our head above water. I handled costumer service calls and emails, I helped the shipping department process thousands of returns and I remained the point of contact for our supporters.After my first semester, I was invited back for a second semester in the role of a National Spokesperson. During this semester, I was asked to plan Invisible Children's most ambitious tour. I worked closely on a cross-cultural team of four to book, promote, and implement this speaking tour for the "middle America" region. I traveled the country in order to share the story of the Lords Resistance Army and the longest running conflict in Africa, and to use face to face connection in order to build relationships for the organization. A long the way, I mobilized hundreds of youth, local political leaders, as well as high level representatives from the US, UN, EU, AU, International Criminal Court (ICC), and multiple countries in Central and East Africa, to attend a large event (10,000 people in attendance) in Washington, DC to discuss the issue of the Lords Resistance Army.
