RE: Sexual Assault Response Coordinator

My name is Faye Julies and I am currently employed by Serco, Inc. as the Victim

Advocate Sexual Assault Prevention and Education Training Specialist in Seoul, South

Korea. I work with the Army’s Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program. My

time in South Korea has come to an end and I will be arriving in Portsmouth, Rhode

Island at the end of September. I would like to apply for the position of Sexual Assault

Resource Coordinator, currently advertised on the website, www.resumebook360.com.

I have a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Port Elizabeth, South

Africa; however I have continued my education in the field of victim advocacy, sexual

assault and domestic violence. I am currently in the process of receiving my United

States Citizenship.

One of my primary responsibilities as the South Korean Regional Sexual Assault

Prevention and Response Program Trainer, was to collaborate with all four Sexual

Assault Response Coordinators (SARCs) and to develop multiple sexual assault and

domestic violence awareness campaigns to inform and educate the Joint Services

currently stationed in Korea; specifically the Department of the Army Soldiers. The

primary campaign of the Army is the I. A.M Strong Campaign, which focuses on a strong

bystander intervention message. This message elicits the assistance of all to prevent

sexual violence from occurring. It was our responsibility to take the message and

implement it in the Service Member’s everyday life (work and play) so they were

constantly aware of their roles and responsibilities in creating a safer environment for

all. Although our program was primarily geared towards the Army, services and

awareness campaigns were communicated to all branches of the military. I was the

facilitator (and teacher) of the United States Forces Korea (USFK) 40-hour Sexual

Assault Victim Advocate Course, training all branches of the military, including Marines,

Navy, Army and Air Force. During the annual Armed Forces Exercises, our services

were provided to National Guard and Reserve personnel.

I would develop trainings for Commanders, Units, First Responders and Victim

Advocates with regard to regulations and Standard Operating Procedures. I would

then train each Garrison SARC with regard to this information (Train-the-trainer) and

they in turn would ensure all key personnel in their individual Garrison were trained and

up to date with current information.

As a legal advocate in the state of Hawaii, I had to collaborate with many of the

agencies involved in providing the best services to the victim, i.e. medical personnel, the

Honolulu Police Department, the office of the Public Defender, the office of the State

Prosecutor, and the Military Chain of Command (if the victim was part of the military

community). As an advocate at the Domestic Violence Action Center, I was required to

be familiar with the legal process for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. I

was able to develop a firm understanding of the family court, criminal court and now, the

Uniformed Code of Military Justice.

I have excellent case management skills having managed approximately 50 domestic

violence/sexual assault cases at one time. Although this might seem excessive, I was

able to maintain an active, healthy lifestyle so as to not suffer from a high degree of

secondary trauma. I believe it important to be able to care of one’s self.

Having worked in the field of victim advocacy for the last several years, one of my

responsibilities was to provide immediate crisis intervention, short and long term

services as well as providing emotional support to victims of sexual assault and

domestic abuse. Keeping victims informed of procedures and processes is a very

important part of the victim advocate-victim relationship.

For Sexual Assault Awareness Month in 2011, I coordinated a sexual assault awareness

campaign, The Clothesline Project in South Korea. We collaborated with our biggest

soldier organization, BOSS (Better Opportunity for Single and Unaccompanied Service

Members). The campaign was enthusiastically attended by all members of the military

community and is being displayed at military installations across South Korea.

As I make my transition back to the United States and Rhode Island, I look forward to

being able to bring my knowledge and experience to your company and the military

installation in Newport, Rhode Island. I am very excited about this possible opportunity

and learning new skills.

I look forward to hearing from you with regard to considering my application for this

position. I am currently in South Korea, however will be returning to the United States

on 25 September 2011 and already have a telephone number you may contact me at.

Please refer to my resume for all contact information.

Thank you for your time,

Faye Julies
