I am a positive, highly-motivated, results oriented self-starter that is interested in bettering the world. I am graduating in December 2015 and embrace a genuine passion for leveraging communication strategies for lasting social impact.
I have experience in both the public and private sector within the social impact field. My experience includes four major focus areas: (1) qualitative and quantitative behavioral and market research, (2) data analysis and data management, (3) strategic digital/social communication and marketing, and (4) advocacy writing.
My experience in these four focus areas have enhanced my skill set in cause based marketing, investor engagement, and external stakeholder relationships
With the help of these skills and assets I am able to effectively leverage communication for increased fundraising support, user engagement, and public awareness, thus shifting human behavior for positive global impact.

An hour had passed by and not a car had moved forward in the stand still traffic. Taking the bus home from San Jose back to campus in Guacimo required driving through the mountains and weaving through the misty jungle. Without traffic this drive would only take an hour.
Culture shock can take on many different forms. We can experience culture shock during a meal, at a bar, in the classroom, at work and so much more.
