Volunteering and Community Engagement

Salvadoran Enterprises for Women (SEW) October 2013 – October 2014
I helped purchase and set up the organization’s first CRM, I update and maintain their website, translate as needed, and take the lead on online communications. Most recently, I have helped set up Run for SEW – a new fundraising strategy. In October 2014, I joined SEW’s board of directors.

Girls on the Run February – June 2012 and March – May 2014
Worked through the Girls on the Run curriculum with a group of 3rd-5th grade girls.

Washtenaw Interfaith Coalition for Immigrant Rights (WICIR-Washtenaw County, Michigan) November 2011 – February 2012
I edited translation of emails and interpreted during a community meeting.

Johnson County Public Health May 2010 – June 2011
I translated documents, edited translations, and interpreted for WIC appointments, this included linguistic translation as well as cultural translation and making the mothers comfortable in an unfamiliar situation.

Wesley Foundation Delegation to El Salvador March 2008 and March 2011
I helped to prepare the delegations by providing background reading, leading discussions, and helping with fundraising. While in El Salvador, I was the primary interpreter for the group.
