Karilyn has been a Spanish Teacher in Spanish School Pájaro Flor since 2009 and has had taught Spanish to many of CoCoDA’s volunteers, especially those from Indiana University. “I really admire and appreciate the work that the volunteers do in my country and – as part of my thankfulness of their contribution – it’s a true honor to work for CoCoDA and publicize this valuable work in the development of our communities.”

Karilyn is responsible of managing development, implementation, maintenance and evaluation of all of the communication efforts and platforms of CoCoDA with the goal of clearly and broadly marketing its mission, accomplishments and needs to present and new audiences.
