WORK EXPERIENCE

Functioning as an Editorial Consultant for Caravel Group Communications, I provide a fresh set of eyes on ongoing projects within the company and distribute revised drafts back for consideration. These projects range from altering the biographies of medical professionals to proofreading PowerPoint presentations and speakers notes while the project continues development.
Purchase Order Coordinator
Oregon Department of Human Services

As Purchase Order Coordinator for Oregon State Department of Human Services, I process caseworker requests for items and services necessary to meet Child Welfare compliance standards. These requests include gas and clothing vouchers, worker reimbursements, vital statistics requests, and access to court-ordered services. Once approved, I generate the purchase order documents and supply additional information before the purchase is complete. If a request is made for a business or agency outside of the State's network, I am the first point of contact for requesting a W9 form and establishing a provider file.

Working as a Criminal Records Coordinator for Oregon State’s Department of Human Services, I processed Consent for Criminal History forms completed by foster care providers and acquired applicant police records via FAX and email. I provided certifiers, supervisors, and the background check unit with continuous updates as new information was uploaded. In addition, I maintained a detailed log of all documents sent and requested for efficient data entry.
Logistics Processor
Nordstrom
Aug. 2019 - June 2020
As a Logistics Processor at Nordstrom, my primary duty was to ensure the flow of online orders accepted by our store were fulfilled and packaged correctly either for delivery or in-store pickup. This involved locating clothing items throughout the store and inventory, communicating with vendors to restock on specific items, and packaging and mailing orders through the correct mail carriers. I also oversaw the onboarding of seasonal hires by training them in basic tasks.
Classroom Access Assistant
University of Washington Disability Resources for Students
Jul 2017 - Sep 2019
As a Classroom Access Assistant, I handled a variety of back-end and front-end tasks to ensure students received their exams with the proper accommodations requested. Working under FERPA compliance guidelines, I managed communications between our office, UW students and UW faculty to schedule exams and scan/return completed exams in a timely manner for grading. I was also in charge of additional projects to improve new employee training and ease of access, such as writing our first ever Testing Center training manual and a Frequently Asked Questions webpage for students and professors.
Vice President of Fraternal Affairs
Phi Kappa Theta Fraternity
Sep 2017 - Jun 2018
As Vice President Fraternal, I worked as a liaison between our housing management and the landlord of the property to conduct repairs, to facilitate those who wanted to live in the house, and to accommodate those currently living in. This involved drafting and revising a formal housing contract which I designed to benefit both parties based on their requests. I also assisted with the planning and execution of our yearly Formal event, organized quarterly bonding activities, penned chapter materials for recruitment, and booked study rooms to provide quiet study spaces for midterms and finals.
Secretary
Phi Kappa Theta Fraternity
Oct 2016 - Sep 2017
Working alongside the chapter president, I frequently communicated with Phi Kappa Theta's nationals and send out bi-weekly newsletters to our alumni network to update them on chapter ongoings. In addition, I redesigned our chapter branding for said emails, assembled PowerPoints for our weekly chapter meetings, and was in charge of the UW Phi Kappa Theta events Facebook page.
