MDC is a social justice non-profit that demonstrates how programs and <br /> practices can bridge the gap between opportunity and those left behind by the changing <br /> economy. I have experience in writing and judging grant proposals and applications as <br /> well as planning and overseeing peer-learning events (conferences and summits) as <br /> small as 20 professionals in attendance and as large as 1 ,400. Prior to my work at MDC, <br /> I was a fundraising director for a campaign for the Florida State House. <br /> Volunteer Experience: Most recently I've fostered dogs. Through 2002 I volunteered for <br /> Girl Scouts and worked with young girls as well as young women. Since my arrival in <br /> North Carolina in 2006, health reasons have kept me from volunteering, but I'm better <br /> now and would like to be more active in my community. <br /> Education: I have a bachelors degree from Guilford College in Greensboro, NC. <br /> majored in political science and international studies and studied in Guadalajara, Mexico <br /> for a year. In 2002-03, I was the President of Guilford's Student Union and organized and <br /> carried out a variety of events for the student body. I was also a representative for two <br /> years while at Guilford to the Student Senate. I expect to go back to school for a masters <br /> in public administration in the next few years. <br />
