Milestones
My road in life took a while to figure out.
I volunteered and interned for several nonprofit organizations in college.
However, first job was in Advertising and decided the corporate world was not for me.
I then started volunteering again in nonprofit organizations to gain experience in the job i wanted.
I then applied for nonprofit organizations whose focus is education and I got a job.
