Summary
I am a motivated individual who graduated with my B.A. in Organizational Communication. I have developed a passion for planning, executing, and evaluating programs for youth. With a multimedia communication minor, I have learned technological skills that will make planning programs much easier. My other areas of expertise include social media management, event planning, community engagement, public relations, and editing. I take pride in always putting in the extra effort to do anything I can to better the organization for which I am working. Currently working as a Program Management Paraprofessional, I guide special education students to achieve their academic and life goals.
