As we welcome our 2020-2021 Fellowship Class, meet fellow Dara Ogunsakin!
Meet the Fellow: Elizabeth Ashton, Manhattan, NY
Meet the Fellow: Brandon Manbahal, Bronx, NY
Some people like long walks on the beach, and then there's Brandon, the Work First Fellow located in the America Works office in Bronx, New York. When he needs a moment or two away from the fast pace of the office, he likes to take long walks in his Bronx neighborhood, which he calls his “beautiful neck of the woods.”
Meet the Fellow: Liz Cottle, Manhattan, NY
Elizabeth Cottle—or Liz, as we know her—is a native New Yorker, a summa cum laude graduate from Binghamton University, a global traveler, and as of recently, a veritable expert on reviewing resumes. One of three Work First Fellows located in Manhattan, NY, Liz spends most of her time at the America Works 5th Avenue office teaching weekly lessons and working one-on-one with American Works clients to prepare for interviews and, of course, review their resumes.
