  Principia College

  Aug 2015 - Dec 2017

  Graduate Assistant/ Assistant Sports Information Director

  ​As a graduate assistant I worked full-time for the Principia College Athletic Department. As the only GA at times, or as one of three, I had many responsibilities and autonomy in regard to producing and disseminating communication. Most of my work was published across various digital media outlets, and I enjoyed finding new ways to communicate the excitement of collegiate athletics to various audiences by generating over 50 press releases, 40 promotional videos, and countless photos and print/social media designs. I also was the assistant coach for seven seasons of cross country and track & field. I primarily served as the head throws coach. However, I worked with the sprints and jumps athletes, and became the head pole vault coach. I helped coach 5 athletes to the NCAA DIII Championships. While working as a GA, I pursued my Master's Degree in Communication, with a focus in Public Relations. I also served the needs of the department by managing over 150 athletic events. Including organizing the college's first campus-wide pep-rally in over two decades. Which all provided me with the event management experience that was needed to manage the 2017 NCAA DIII Cross Country National Championships. Show less

  NCAA DIII Cross Country Nationals

  Aug 2017 - Dec 2017

  Assistant Communications Director

  I worked as the Assistant Communication Director for the 2017 NCAA DIII Cross Country National Championships, hosted by Principia College. Due to personnel changes, I was the only member of the college staff solely dedicated to the championships. I coordinated with the executive offices, and with about 20 in-house departments such as campus security, media services, health services, dining services, marketing, alumni, housekeeping, mail/copy services, and the executive office to make sure that everyone was on the same page and that the Principia brand was well-represented to over 4,000 visitors. Which turned out to be the biggest event the college has ever had. I also designed posters, banquet tickets, menus, directional signage, and videos. I also recruited and managed over 300 student-workers and volunteers. It was an amazing opportunity to work closely with the NCAA governing board to make sure that the championships met their logistical and brand standards. Show less
