Hello! My name is Winnie and I am currently looking for a long-term role that I can grow and meaningfully contribute in. I am passionately Catholic, and I desire to be a part of an organization that shares those values and the mission of the Church through evangelization. If you feel like I would be a good fit, please don't hesitate to reach out, and I am happy to share references, work samples, and answer any questions.
A little about me/my experience:
I am a recent GCU (Grand Canyon University) Grad with a BA in Government w/ an Emphasis in Legal Studies and a minor in Philosophy. While at GCU I was treasurer of the Catholic Club '22-'23, part of the prolife club, an active participant at my Newman Center, and part Global Outreach, an on-campus refugee ministry.
While searching for my next role I am serving as a volunteer with the International Rescue Committee, a humanitarian aid nonprofit; coordinating incoming volunteers and training caseworkers on the use of our anti-trafficking hotline and community resources.
I was formerly an intern at the IRC and my duties consisted of direct communication with refugees regarding access to healthcare, employment, education, and documentation services and assisted caseworkers with daily tasks/interactions. I utilized translation services and culturally sensitive and trauma-informed communication, ensuring each client I contacted was heard and respected. I also assisted tracking grant data, creating social media posts and copy, as well as flyers and other media to raise awareness about trafficking. I assisted in donor outreach and coordination for support in our trafficking program.
Additionally, I have experience as a Junior Counselor at Grand Canyon Education, Inc., where I assisted potential students in the application process, built relationships with incoming freshmen, and advised them on degree options.
I have an Arizona Level One Fingerprint Clearance, Victim Assistance Training through the OVC, and Standard CPR/AED & First Aid.
I also served as a Totus Tuus Missionary for the Diocese of Pueblo, and this was one of the most transformative experiences of my life.
Here are three fun facts about me/things I care about:
I enjoy research and academic writing. This was one of my favorite parts of being a student and something I plan to delve deeper into in my professional life.
I am passionate about the nonprofit sector and the importance of utilizing trauma-informed communication and communicating to others in culturally sensitive ways.
I am a self-starter and push myself. As a former business owner, I grew my business from the ground up and to a yearly revenue stream of 30k as a high school student.
