International Cultural Exchange Services (ICES)

• United States
• Civic and Social Organizations
• 1 - 100 Employee

• Local Coordinator

  • Jan 2015 - Jan 2017

  Placing international exchange students with home stay families in the local Boulder area. Working closely with schools and networking with families throughout the Broomfield, Boulder, Longmont, Denver, and Lyons schools to help each find a student that would be the best potential match based on interests and personality. This job requires a passion for international education and a dedication not to just place students arbitrarily based on deadlines, but flexibility and creativity to match families with a student that will truly be a good fit, giving both parties the best experience possible. My challenging and rather disappointing study abroad experience I lived in Spain at 16 due to an unprofessional local coordinator is what drives me to pursue this job passionately. I believe this job now gives me a chance to reflect on my experience and lend a good support system to international teens, and taught me what not to do. This has been an incredible experience, and I am very excited to welcome five new international teens to come live in Colorado this coming August. Show less

University of Colorado Boulder

• United States

• 700 & Above Employee

• President

  • Sep 2014 - May 2015

  Helped found CU Boulder's chapter of the national organization Project Pengyou. Our goal is to fortify US-China relations through grassroots level education, especially by uniting our local Chinese and American communities. The CU Boulder chapter has been working with other groups on campus to broaden our reach and help bring anyone and everyone looking to understand more about China. We hope to encourage more students to study, travel, and work abroad in China to increase their cultural awareness and come back with a drive to foster a better mutual understanding between these two counties. In this position, I truly learned how to organize a large group of people, engage and motivate a board of directors, and be a leader in our community. Continuously coming up with weekly ideas to encourage people to return was a challenge, but with a great group of board members we were always able to find an activity that was innovative and exciting. Our group grew to over 45+ members by the end of the first year. Show less

During my time here as an intern and then a board member, I quickly learned how to work with a variety of people, edit webpages and maintain our social media accounts. I also played a large role in organizing the booth we held at the annual Boulder Creek Fest--organizing volunteers, timeslots, rotations, set-up and break-down, as well as the various ideas of how to raise awareness and get people interested in our cause of providing clean water to those in need.

Rocky Mountain Day Camp

• Superior, CO.

• Camp Counselor

  • May 2011 - Aug 2013

  Worked for two summers at an amazing camp. Counselor for the Rockin' Robins (girls, 4-6) and the Little Ladybugs (girls, 6-8). In collaboration with one to two other counselors, we led activities, organized games, meet with parents, and continuously came up with creative ideas. This job was my first true experience with teamwork, and how to effective utilize each person's skills to create the best and safest environment for children. Leadership was another skill I gained here, as counselors took charge of activities, planning, and organizing throughout the duration of camp. This was a wonderful experience, and most of all, it taught me how to be patient and creative. Show less
