Hello, 

I am a First-generation college graduate and daughter of refugees committed to working with integrity, kindness, and adaptability in support of diversity, equity, and inclusion for all. I am thrilled to embark on a new chapter in my professional journey and return to my passion for clerical support. With an unprecedented blend of experiences, including managing a family-owned donut shop business for 9 years and serving as a Student Assistant for the inaugural Department of Diversity Initiatives and Resource Centers at California State University, Fullerton, I bring a wealth of skills and perspectives to the table.

My experience within the inaugural department afforded me the opportunity to acquire invaluable knowledge and skills, which have been instrumental in advancing my professional capabilities. This experience not only honed my administrative abilities but also deepened my commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.

My experience in managing a small business has equipped me with invaluable skills that optimally translate to clerical work. From overseeing daily operations and managing finances to providing exceptional customer service and maintaining meticulous records, I have honed my ability to multitask, prioritize tasks, and thrive in fast-paced environments. Moreover, I have developed a keen sense of initiative, proactively identifying opportunities for improvement and implementing effective solutions. This experience has also reinforced the importance of collaboration and teamwork. Whether working alongside family members, colleagues, or diverse student populations, I understand the value of effective communication, cooperation, and mutual support. I am excited to bring this collaborative spirit to your team, contributing positively to our collective goals while encouraging a conducive environment.

While my journey has taken me down various paths, my passion for administrative support and commitment to excellence have remained unwavering. I am eager to contribute positively to a community, leveraging my experiences and skills to help achieve collective goals.
