At the end of the month I am starting on the Enterprise Risk Management team, with a focus on Environmental and Social Sustainability.
I coached lacrosse at Ballard High School for the 2022-2023 season, where we won the Metro conference and made it to the Washington State quarterfinals.
At this advertising agency I worked on marketing and management projects. On the advertising side I came up taglines, commercials, and promotions, for a variety of different companies, including, HomeStreet, Big Fish Games, Xbox, WSU Breadlab, and Rainier Beer. On the management side I registered the company’s DBA, made the company emails, and created two new themed portions of the office space, including the world’s first Washington State Canadian Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.
I had the opportunity to work with Tokki, a startup that produces sustainable, smart gift wrap, during the summer that led up to their public launch. I ran ads through Facebook and Instagram to find and capture our target market and gain leads prior to the official launch.
At the space needle, a popular tourist attraction in Seattle, I specialized in customer interaction. Whether I was at the top of the space needle guiding our guests or at the bottom selling tickets, my main focus was establishing a positive customer experience.
As a coach for Skyhawks’ summer camps, I was responsible for designing daily lesson plans and then leading & motivating my campers, ages 4-12, through the activities in a way that was both instructional and fun.
My team and I created an app that facilitates in-person grocery shopping. Our technology allows shoppers to easily locate items, receive personalized coupon offers, and then checkout and pay from their phone. For grocery stores, we give them the analytics and advertising potential traditionally only held by online retailers.
In my introduction to entrepreneurship class, my group and I worked towards creating an enviromentally concious ecommerce site. We went through a few different iterations before settling on a final idea after a few rounds of customer interviews and Instagram ad campaigns. After building our minimum viable product, we launched the site and used Hotjar analytics to test our business model and validate assumptions. At the end of the semester, we created a pitch video which won ExEC's Yearly Process Pitch Competition. You can see more here.
POST 84, one of the largest student-run non-profits in the Northwest, focuses on providing access for high school students to experience the outdoors. As a board member, I helped plan the logistics of wilderness trips for 70+ students, doing everything from fundraising, advertising, and obtaining gear to meal planning, cooking, and teaching survival skills for the organization.
