This is one of those roles where the students teach the tutors about humility, bravery, and surviving and thriving in new cultures... while the tutors guide the students through the building of reading, writing and math skills.

This is one of those roles where the students teach the tutors about humility, bravery, and surviving and thriving in new cultures... while the tutors guide the students through the building of reading, writing and math skills. We start in a classroom setting with monthly themes, then break out into one-on-one or small-group tutoring to make the content as relevant as possible to each student's daily life. Tutoring can span from learnings seeing English for the first time, to more advance students working toward a GED or becoming a U.S. citizen. It's a weekly commitment (8-10 hours per month).

I joined the group just in time for the 2016 event and oversaw the green room, managing the comfort and security of the space for the presenters to prepare, relax and focus on delivering their performances. I also accompanied them to the stage for a touch of security, but mostly to ensure the show flowed on schedule.

I joined the group just in time for the 2016 event and oversaw the green room, managing the comfort and security of the space for the presenters to prepare, relax and focus on delivering their performances. I also accompanied them to the stage for a touch of security, but mostly to ensure the show flowed on schedule.

For 2017 and 2019 events, I expanded the content strategy for all 4 social profiles to become year-round, and grew the overall follower base 20%, while improving engagements per post 3x in the 4 months leading up to the event. I also introduced live coverage to engage with in-person and online audiences, and kept the momentum going post show to bridge the 6-week gap between event and when videos became available.

In 2018, I added managing the backlog of English transcriptions that were needed, so that the talks could then be translated into other languages by volunteers around the world. This included creating a marketing plan to solicit volunteers (and mentor them through the process), planning a transcribe-a-thon event to eliminate the backlog, and communicating with admins of Amara software system to coordinate our efforts within the greater TED community.

While in this role, 62 talks and performances were transcribed in English, with 187 translations across 20 languages. These videos had been viewed more than 9.2 million times. Show less

Offered support as someone who knows Boise and college athletics, when the Big Sky signed a three-year agreement to host its basketball tournaments in town. I served on the Local Organizing Committee for 2019 and 2020 tournaments, meeting regularly to think big and create that wow first impression for the teams and the fans, then flesh out the logistics to make it happen. Each tournament week included 20 games, and I supported the marketing director as the post-game press conference moderator.

In this program, I provided one-on-one tutoring for adults to build reading, writing and math skills. It was a weekly commitment where I developed my own lessons, 10-15 hours per month. I also raised my hand to help manage the library’s social media footprint, creating Pinterest and Twitter accounts and elevating engagement on Facebook.

I raised my hand to learn alongside other markers diving into this (then) new opportunity for marketers. I participated on their global Facebook team, providing engaging content 2-4 days per week. I also had the opportunity to mentor a UC Irvine student about how Facebook can be used by businesses as party of her Advanced Social Media class.

I grew up with a grandmother librarian and was checking out records (LPs!) in the young adult room when I first started volunteering as a pre-teen. When I moved to California, I visited the local library thinking I'd shelve books and instead, they invited me into this program, and it's changed my vision of what giving back to your community can mean.
