The College of Lib Arts & Sci
I’ve started my Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at the University of Arizona to deepen my understanding of gender issues and advocate for marginalized communities. Having recently completed my Skillbridge internship at AllegiantVets, a company dedicated to assisting veterans with career transitions, I am actively seeking employment opportunities to apply my knowledge and skills. I used my understanding of human behavior and mental processes during my internship and completed a Bachelor of Science in Psychology at the University of Maryland Global Campus.
Before my internship, I served in the United States Air Force for over eight years as an Executive Administrative Assistant and a Hospitality and Fitness Management specialist. In these roles, I provided essential administrative support to senior officers, managed schedules, coordinated high-level meetings, and executed wellness programs that benefited military personnel and their families. My technical skills are backed by multiple certifications from Google in technical support, computer networking, and system administration. With a strong background in office administration, detail-oriented tasks, and effective communication, I am eager to bring my expertise to an organization that values dedication and comprehensive support services.
