My name is Iva Popa and I am a recent graduate of Fordham University School of Law studying for the New York State Bar. I am looking for part-time employment for the month of June and the first week in July, available immediately.

As a freshman counselor at Yale University, I was responsible for the social and academic wellbeing of 123 members of the freshmen class in collaboration with 6 other counselors. The majority of my responsibilities included clarifying academic policies, college regulations, major program requirements and procedures while helping students define and develop their educational plans by assisting in coursework selection. Another significant aspect of my position as a counselor included supporting the freshmens social, cultural, and personal transition to college. I assisted students struggling with a wide range of concerns including race, culture, mental health, income disparity, and sexual orientation. Navigating these sometimes mundane and often sensitive situations, I learned to effectively communicate with young adults, quickly assess the nature and gravity of a situation, and promptly provide the necessary support.

Living and working in the same place as my students for an entire year, I understand the challenges and rewards that a residential position entails. Im also aware of the fact that no job description, and particularly one of a residential nature, can ever circumscribe all the responsibilities required and the ones that become necessary to perform. The residential component of the counsellorship proved to be challenging with freshmen emergencies arising at late hours of the night. This required that I work very closely with the other counselors under strenuous, sleepless, and often less than ideal conditions. Im very comfortable and capable of being flexible and adapting quickly to my new surroundings and for this reason, Im confident that I would be able to adequately attend to the needs and requirements of care provider for children of various ages.

In my experience as an admissions ambassador for Yale, I traveled to several high schools and held information sessions talking to high school juniors and seniors regarding the college experience including the application process and financial aid policies. I answered questions regarding the residential and academic challenges of college and often communicated with parents. Working as a tutor for middle school, high school, and college-aged students during my entire undergraduate experience, I have learned to assess each students individual style of learning and personalize my services to their specific pace and preferences. Im very comfortable meeting and talking to new people, answering their questions, and tending to their needs. I have an acute ability to relate and connect with young adults, making them feel comfortable and making myself approachable by being an active listener and observing non-verbal communication, while always remaining respectful, open-minded, and friendly.
