      Provided career coaching to students, assessed their language and professional skills to see what jobs are best fits. Then I help them with resume writing, preparing for assessments and onsite interviews. In addition, I advised students to help them meet DESE benchmarks and worked on curriculum development with teachers. I revamped the volunteer tutoring program designed to supplement our adult ESOL classes, building out structure for screening, training, and onboarding of volunteers. I improved our social media presence to help promote our programs, recruited 150+ new volunteers annually as a team of one and provided ongoing supervision.
