      Partners in Education is a program under the Associate Dean of the college which provides academic support to first years who experience academic difficulty. As a post-bac mentor, I designed programming for college students who struggled academically in their first semester. To support academic success, I created and led activities to develop writing and academic skills, as well as develop systems for better time management and organization. Working closely with a team including a second post-bac, the Dean, and various faculty and staff, I facilitated discussions and activities during retreats and study sessions, created journaling prompts, and promoted efficient study habits throughout the semester.

    • Program Coordinator
      • Aug 2014 - May 2015

      During my time as a student, I assisted in Grinnell's Education Department office. After graduation I was hired to help coordinate the program, taking on several projects to organize documents and program requirements for students seeking educational licensure through the state. This involved aligning courses with state requirements and creating paths leading to licensure, coordinating coursework and materials for the Education Department, and developing materials necessary for program accreditation through the state, including digitizing paper records and creating online application processes.
