Work Experience
1. July 2006- Trinity Housing Group, Inc., San Diego, CA
Summer Camp Coordinator
This position included but was not limited to providing the opportunity to work with children and families, and to put to work my excellent organizational skills. I was able to demonstrate my keen attention to detail, as well as my ability to multi-task. I not only planned activities for the after school program, but also created detailed lesson plans. I spent time interacting with a wide age range of students (5-17 years old). I also had the privilege of planning a family barbeque with games, food and prizes, which encouraged this low income housing facility to come together and enjoy community and relationship together.
