Experience
Emerge USA- 2009-2011
Emerge is a nonprofit organization that primarily focuses on the vote of the minority and encourages the
youth to participate in mobilizing the community. Fundraising, canvassing and organizing as well as
leading events was my main position at Emerge. Reaching out to potential as well as in office candidates
was an important function, as a coordinator and marketing assistant. I continue to work with Emerge
during elections and important upcoming events.
Washington Center’s Camp David Program -2010
Intensive program focused on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and possible resolutions. Mentors
and speakers included the Egyptian, Syrian, and Israeli Ambassadors and world-renowned
scholars, whose insight led to a complete understanding of the complicated circumstances
effecting the Middle East and possible resolutions that could contribute to peace in the near
future.
Democratic Party/Campaign for Accountability - 2010
The Campaign for Accountability is a democratic campaign that worked to support all democratic
nominees in the 2010 elections, specifically, to endorse and elect Alex Sink for Florida Governor. As a
field organizer for the campaign my responsibilities included organizing and leading phone banking and
canvassing events as well as directing volunteers and gathering important information to conclude the
statistics for the outcome of the campaign.
Senator George Lemieux -2010
I have completed a semester of interning for Florida senator, George Lemieux. Working in a fast and time
pressuring environment, having to stay social and become an expert on Word and Excel. I was responsible
for campaign and event organizations, as well as socializing with both political parties during difficult and
competitive times. Representing the Senator with the team members was crucial during important
meetings and events.

Working in high fashion retail has made me social in a professional manner. I have gained knowledge of
selling, advertising, marketing, communicating and have experience the comfort in working with groups
of people.
