      Field Manager/Community Fundraiser

      I began as a door-to-door Canvasser with Environment Colorado and CoPIRG at the Denver location, and gained the skills needed to move into a Field Manager position once the seasonal Boulder location opened in May. I worked as a Field Manager throughout the spring, summer, fall, and winter seasons and performed the following tasks: Training new canvassers in the field; conducting trainings and 'role plays' with new canvassers and current staff; running Field Manager trainings; managing zip codes to reach our targeted fundraising goals; leading crews into the field; setting up each team member with goals; and ensuring we meet all our goals for the zip codes I managed. Throughout my year with Environment Colorado and CoPIRG, I raised over $73,000 and engaged with/educated over 3,000 Coloradans about environmental and public health issues affecting Americans and the future of our planet.

    • Harlequin's Gardens Sustainable Nursery

      May 2020 - Jan 2022
      Retail Associate/Assistant Office Manager

      At the beginning of the pandemic, I began working as a Retail Associate at this local, small garden nursery committed to sustainable growing practices. I assisted dozens of customers each day throughout the busy season (April-June). From answering questions about gardening, plant information, and sustainable growing practices to repotting plants and receiving plant deliveries, this position was nothing short of an intellectual challenge and hands-on learning experience.After almost a year, I stepped into the more fast-paced position of Assistant Office Manager. I was in charge of ordering office and general staff supplies, retail products, and other supplies in order to operate the business. From diagnosing IT issues with any of our hardware to researching plant information to keep our retail information up to date, this position provided an incredible experience for growth as it challenged me intellectually. Due to staff shortages and other complications that come with running a small business during a pandemic, I stepped into several different roles to get the job done. Show less
