EDUCATION:

Have learned the basics of how to write and approach an article. These skills include
observation, catering to a particular audience, time management, ethics, research skills, and
interpersonal communication with subjects and the larger public.
Work in the major has strengthened my writing and communication skills.
Education 50, 60, 70, 125, and 160
These courses have provided a foundation to understanding how the education system works.
Educational disparities, equity, after school programs, policy, and public perception are only a
few of the topics I have become familiar with through these classes.
Work in the major has allowed me the opportunity to volunteer with children and gain firsthand
experience in working in educational environment.
Have learned the basics of child and adolescent development, which allows me to better
understand and approach children of different ages
EXTRA-CURRICULAR/VOLUNTEER WORK:
Turtle Rock After School Program

help, free play interaction, and overseeing active and passive activities.
Allowed the opportunity to get a firsthand experience on how an afterschool program operates
through the interaction with staff and children.
Violence Intervention Prevention Program
Training on how to be an active listener and effective communicator to be able to provide social
support and guidance to UCI students with family, academic, and/or personal difficulties

daily/weekly tasks that allowed them to see their improvements and make their long-term goals
seem attainable
WORK-EXPERIENCE:
Panda Express
Employment at Panda Express has helped strengthen my work ethic. Working at UC Irvines
most popular dining destination creates an extremely busy environment. Aside from serving
customers, an employee from Panda must learn to manage their time and execute given tasks
with a high level of efficiency.
The store draws a high population of foreign exchange students. Regularly working with
customers who dont speak English has sharpened my people skills and continuously enforces
the importance of strong communication skills.
