Additionally, I had the privilege of spearheading the inaugural paid internship training program for blind and visually impaired youth in the Greater San Francisco Bay Area. I have also organized career workshops and provided classroom education to unique and challenging populations, all while volunteering for causes dear to my heart. Moreover, I possess extensive experience in event planning and execution, encompassing budgeting, advertising, and on-the-ground management. I have also worked in retail sales and provided support services for local law enforcement.
