AmeriCorps VISTA Member:
Resource Development Coordinator at PRAB in New Brunswick, NJ

 I served as Resource Development Coordinator at PRAB, a nonprofit in New Brunswick, NJ, through the AmeriCorps VISTA program from November 2018 to November 2019. PRAB is an organization dedicated to fighting poverty through the empowerment of individuals and families. Their services include utility and housing assistance, immigration counseling, family and parenting coaching, and a wide range of educational opportunities, from ESL to financial literacy classes. My role during my year of service was to analyze PRAB's development strategy and resources and build sustainable systems for resource capacity, with the goal of strengthening PRAB's poverty alleviation work and enabling the organization to continue this work in the future.

Resident Graduate Student - Forbes College (2015-2017)

I served as a resident graduate student (RGS) in Forbes College, a dorm for freshmen and sophomores, at Princeton University for two years. During this time, I organized study breaks for the residents ("zees") and acted as a point of contact for any questions, concerns, or emergencies that they had during their time at Princeton. I also helped to plan an annual leadership activity involving the preparation of lunch bags for the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen.

Stanford U.S.-Russia Forum

I have been involved with the Stanford U.S.-Russia Forum, serving first as a delegate on the SURF Healthcare and Biotechnology team from 2014-2015, and then as one of the SURF presenters at the 2016 Fort Ross Dialogue, presenting a pitch for a U.S.-Russia collaborative project in healthcare technology to a panel of judges that included Secretary Perry, Governor Brown, and Governor Yakushev of Tyumen oblast.
