I am a self motivated insurance broker.

I am a seasoned Senior Project, Program and Operations Manager with a successful history of driving initiatives across technical and non-technical teams that meet and exceed organizational objectives. My goal is aligning my career with my personal passion: which is the intersection of education and technology. I seek to leverage my professional experience and expertise and take my career into the education tech industry. This position at your company seems to be a great opportunity to do so. My current role within the PMO of an enterprise security department has helped me fine tune my ability to effectively coordinate cross functional projects, quickly triage and assess project status, and better manage diverse resources. I continually demonstrate my experience facilitating collaborative communication and solutions in complex and highly dynamic environments. Connecting with diverse groups to formulate strategies and processes, driving work sessions and embedding myself in converging work sprints is the most rewarding part of my career.

I was excited to learn of the Program Officer,  Education Policy & Advocacy  position with United Way of Greater Los Angeles as I knew my background would meet the needs of the post. I have been looking for an opportunity that would allow me to continue to work in non-profit management with an organization whose mission resonates with me, and I am certain this position would meet those goals by combining my program management experience with my commitment to social justice and education equity. I am also certain my skills and experience make me a great fit for the position. I attended graduate school at Columbia University where I received a Master of International Affairs, concentrating in policy and human rights. After graduating, I worked as the Program Coordinator for a program that recruited international fellows, and was responsible for supporting all aspects of the fellowship. In my recent role as Program Manager with the Columbia Law School Human Rights Institute, I was responsible for managing all event logistics; building partnerships with students, peer institutions, advocates, and social justice communities; liaising with speakers and partners; and, working directly with the Executive Director to ensure the Institute’s programing ran smoothly from conception to execution. In managing the Institute’s communications, I developed a communications strategy; drafted, edited, and produced press releases; ran the social media accounts; produced the Institute’s newsletter; collected information on program performance; and, networked to promote and facilitate the Institute’s programs. Overseeing the Institute’s finances, I also managed program grants; developed the operational budget and other project budgets; assisted in grant application and reporting processes; and, worked with vendors on services and contracts. Moreover, I recruited and supervised visiting scholars, interns, work-study students, and volunteers who assisted in our programing. Finally, having worked in non-profits for many years, I have fine-tuned my ability to juggle multiple tasks, find creative solutions, and take initiative in fast-paced and demanding environments.  

As a recent graduate from University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) with a Bachelors of Sociology and an Education Studies Minor, I believe I am an excellent fit for administrative work. I am eager for the chance to show you how my educational background and other experience have prepared me to make an immediate contribution to the job. At UCLA, I learned many skills that will enable me to thrive in this job, particularly time-management, efficiency, and strong verbal and written communication skills. I have learned how to effectively meet deadlines, and work with various types of people to complete projects and tasks. I am a fast learner and feel confident that I can quickly acquire any new skills I'll need to succeed in this role. I also have experience managing a nonprofit and leading fundraising events.
