The bulk of my extracurricular time was spent with the Gamers Clue. The club was a small ten-person group that I saw could grow if given the ability. I was voted to Public Relations Director given me the ability to advertise and grow the club to over one hundred strong in only a few short years.

This knowledge was invaluable to me as I apply many of the technology concepts to my current life. Show less
