  • I spent three years with Feminist Alliance as member, treasurer, and President. I had the privilege of planning and overseeing a number of events, programs, meetings and outings, as well as work with number of organizations. During my time with feminist alliance I coordinated meetings, schedules and agendas, set budget packets and facilitate appeals, and direct club communications and media presence.

  • In the summer of 2023, I was thrilled to join the NCTE awards team. In my time with the council I organized student submissions, drafted and edited administrative documents, and proposed revision for a suspended program of theirs. I also had the opportunity to propose on new media and outreach strategies to promote engagement with new and returning members alike.

  • From 2023—2024 I served as a Residential Assistant for first year university students. With my residents, I fostered a system of support, education, and growth through a myriad of floor communications, a variety of events in size, scale and budget, and interpersonal connection. This role assisted in the development of my crisis management and mediation skills, and taught me a great deal about operating in a cooperative and effective chain of command.

  • From the years of 2020—2023 I had the privilege of working at the Career Center at Fordham University, assisting in office operations and administrative tasks, as well as participating in a selected task group which maintained and catalogued alumni communications.

  • Most recently I have enjoyed working with Quinn Library at Fordham University. With a special interest in Archives and Special Collections, I was thrilled to learn more about Librarian Sciences. This role has supplemented my administrative skills and interpersonal communications with clientele.

  • In January of 2024 I was glad to return to my alma mater to serve in their alumni relations office. In my time with them, I reviewed their archive of alumni donors and updated electronic records of donor accounts on Raiser’s Edge NXT. I strategized with the Director of Development on outreach strategies for young alumni, which have since begun to be implemented.

  • My time at the New York Congressional District taught me so much about the fundamentals of administrative work, as well a a great deal about government tasks, budgets, and constituent relations. I had the privilege of working closely with Director of Outreach and Awards.

  • The Fullerton Center was my first experience working in the Non-Profit sector. I spent the summer working on historical educational components, volunteering at their weekly free bookshop, and beginning to form a methodology for donor outreach.
