Thank you so much. My background is in the violence prevention particularly working with immigrant and refugee youth. I spent about 3 years doing this work and would love to find something similar if I can. However, right around pandemic, I had the opportunity to work as a research coordinator for a medical marijuana project and I took that job mainly because it was for MMJ. I was also a recruiting coordinator for a short period and was hoping to pivot to that career but right now isn't the right time it seems like. Some organizations had hiring freezes, so I haven't really heard anything back lately, so I am trying to figure out a different strategy.

I worked as a Youth Program Coordinator at a dv organization back in 2018 and since then I have also worked as a Research Coordinator at a university for Medical Marijuana Research. Have about 10 plus years of experience in the sector because I was working through college. I had to take a break for about a year break since middle of 2020 for personal reasons, but I happen to work as a recruiting coordinator for a short period. I applied to many jobs both in the recruiting world (not a good time, I know), and the non-profit sector and I am not hearing back. I am not working currently.

Prior to the pandemic I was able to network well so was able to at least know who is hiring and apply. I feel like I am starting all over again here in DC.
