I did a bunch of data processing for an archival nonprofit & volunteered for Planned Parenthood (door knocking, GOTV, youth outreach, that kind of thing).

Graduated from my MFA in 2020! I did 2 years teaching overseas then taught college composition.

So this is 400 hours each?

Ah sorry no, it's 700 for the archive system and *120 for PP (edited). One was online during the pandemic, so I did a lot more of it.
