For this volunteering position at PianoBar within Roskilde Festival I have to show strong planning skills and the ability to work with more than 200 international and Danish volunteers. Organization is crucial both before and during the festival as any planning pitfall could turn into chaos on the working grounds, compromising the purpose of the project. Attending meetings, planning schedules, paying attention to details, replying to inquiries and questions coming from volunteers are just some of the main tasks I have to do.

I worked in a high paced, ambitious and competitive fundraising team that recruited new supporters for marginalized children around the world. I sent strong messages and had positive, educational dialogues with people on the street. I had to be open-minded, energetic, results-oriented and develop the ability to see past rejections and move forward with a positive attitude.

I volunteered as an English teacher for Thai Freedom House organization that seeks to empower refugees coming to Thailand from neighboring Myanmar. I have worked with both children and adults from various ethnic minorities and I have sought to discover and understand the cultural, political and economic factors that lead to their daily struggles and massive human rights violations.

In Thailand I worked in an international environment and had to adapt fast to the new culture while showing consideration towards Thai traditions and customs. As a Kindergarten English teacher, I had over twenty students under my responsibility and had to support their academic and moral development. I assessed their progress, organized meetings with parents, taught extra-curricular summer schools, weekend courses as well as weekly homework clubs.

I worked in an international team of volunteers to support and collect additional funds directly for Save the Children organization. I had to track sales` progress, price items, prepare sales reports, supervise the shop floor during busy hours, help with inventory and any other due administrative tasks.

Anyplace.ro was an online platform that advertised different events in Bucharest such as concerts, festivals, art exhibitions, theatre performances, workshops and many more. As a project coordinator I had to organize schedules, coordinate our photographers and plan future calendars. I had to write content, update the website and social media platforms and I had to represent the company by regularly attending events and receptions.

As a legal assistant I had various responsibilities: supervising and preparing contracts for signature, attending to clients` requests and needs, keeping in contact with office delegates, bank representatives, lawyers, dealing with administrative issues such as preparing reports, schedules, invoices, filing, making appointments and keeping track of office supplies, among many others.

During this internship I learned how to draft correspondence and legal documents such as contracts and mortgages and I learned how to interact with clients coming to the office for legal matters. Apart from daily administrative tasks I also did legal research on various areas of civil law. This internship has given me the confidence I needed to put into practice all the theoretical knowledge acquired during my first two years at law school.
