My role includes funding opportunity tracking and project proposal development alongside our Australia and Country Office Teams.

My main focus has been the project coordination and design for phase 2 of the "Let's Talk Money: Little by Little" campaign in partnership with the National Bank of Cambodia. It was incredible bringing financial literacy education to women garment factory workers across the country in both rural and urban areas. Project design and coordination is my favourite part of my role- I love being hands on working with my local counterparts and partners. I also assist the Program Team with field monitoring visits for our financial capability programs, including leading participant interviews and photography, conducting research, and representing Good Return as a guest speaker and attendee at regional conferences and events.

I primarily worked face-to-face with students to assist with their course planning. I enjoyed being able to connect with students and help them achieve their academic goals. I also performed high level administrative tasks such as organising course completions for 1000+ students each semester and assessing internship and unit applications. To do this I gained a high level of experience in information systems such as Salesforce (UniCRM), HP Records Manager (TRIM). Callista, and Microsoft Office programs.

Working with the programs team, I designed content for a digital wellbeing pilot program in Sierra Leone in response to COVID-19, "Girl Tok". This included making sure that the content, especially on topics of mental health and mindfullness, could be understood in the local context and connect with our audience. I also worked with the Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) Team to organise baseline data and to co-edit a gender analysis of their business and vocational training program in Uganda.

As a PCV, I co-designed and facilitated the Youth Leadership and Empowerment program in partnership with the Region 5 Child Protection Agency. Our focus was on educating at risk youth between 14 and 18 about mental health, suicide prevention, positive self-esteem building, and healthy coping mechanisms. Seeing our students build their confidence and positive coping skills was a great experience. I also co-taught Grade 1 for the first year of service, and led literacy interventions to students grades 1-5 at Hopetown Primary School throughout my two years at there. I also worked with donors and teachers to create literacy workbooks for Grades 1-5, and to secure funding for the construction of a much needed fence at the school.

My main role was co-teaching ESL with local Jordanian counterparts in grades 4 – 8. I also collaborated with local youth counterparts in various youth engagement programs in Karak Governorate, including an after school program for year 6 – 8 girls. These programs focused on girls’ empowerment and education.All volunteers were evacuated from Jordan in March 2015 due to the security situation in Iraq and Syria. Eligible volunteers were transferred to programs in new countries.
