I am excited to be applying to the Clerk’s Office of Snohomish County for the position of Judicial Operations Assistant II. I recently graduated from the University of Washington Bothell, with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Community Psychology and minor in Human Rights and Diversity Studies.

My experience in the course BIS 482: Community Organizing at UW Bothell helped me develop my organization and communication skills. I helped organize an event, Diversity Center Interactive Event: Your Voice Counts, on campus to bring awareness regarding the new Diversity Center on campus. I collected opinions from diverse students through weekly interviews regarding what resources they believe the Diversity Center should include. I then recorded my findings

    TRIO SSS Transfer Mentor Report

    It would be the greatest honor to be a TRIO SSS transfer mentor for Wenatchee Valley College students. I am interested in being a transfer mentor because as a first-generation college student I understand that being a first-generation student of color comes with barriers, but also gives me a unique and valuable perspective with which to bring to higher education. My parents only have an elementary education and have no understanding of the U.S educational system and as the middle child of five siblings, I understand the responsibilities and pressures youth in these populations have with shouldering the burden to accessing and disseminating information to their entire family. Additionally, I understand the cultural challenges some students of color may face as many traditional households discourage pursuing…

Coming from a small town over ninety percent Caucasian, I was drawn to Amherst’s emphasis on diversity and wanted to visit my first liberal arts college.

    Personal Narrative: My Residential Community

    My residential community has had a great impact on me. The community provides an ideal atmosphere to meet a variety of people. Not only does the residential community promote diversity and inclusion, but it has also granted me the unique opportunity of leading in a college atmosphere. After arriving at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, I started spending most of my time in the lobby because my room did not have air conditioning. While in the lobby, I met a racially and geographically diverse group of people.…

    Frederick Douglass: A Student Analysis

    Frederick Douglass once said “It is not light that we need, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake.” This means that difficult circumstances are needed to become better versions of ourselves. As someone who overcame the difficulty of balancing academics, athletics, and involvement with clubs and organizations on campus, I personally agree with this statement. Based upon the qualities I developed during these difficult circumstances, Frederick Douglass would believe I’m deserving of a scholarship bearing his name.…

    “It’s my belief that many parents send their son or daughter to Penn State because of our Paul Robeson cultural center.” Says William Asbury, Penn State’s Vice President for student affairs. ”I don’t think there’s any question that it helps in retention.” This was from an article “Black Issues in Higher Education” (Hefner) I agree with Asbury: the University Of Montana Western could truly benefit from having a multicultural center on its campus. Why do I believe the University Of Montana Western would benefit from having a multicultural center?

    Police Recruitment Essay

    Historically, the police force of this city has not at all been reflective of the community in which it operates, particularly with regard to racial and ethnic characteristics. To that end, this document outlines a recruitment and hiring campaign for the police force that will endeavor to create a police force that is more inclusive, increasingly diverse, and can hopefully then begin to bridge the many gaps and heal wounds that currently exist between the community and the police force that currently exists. Essential Elements of the Job Police and community relations have been typically problematic in our city. With nearly 1 million residents, of which 40% are African American, 15% are Hispanic, 5% are other ethnic minorities,…
