As the Audience Development Director at the St. Louis Business Journal, I led a team of sales consultants to meet an annual budget of $1.1 million. I developed new sales strategies and worked with the consultants to implement the strategies at the St. Louis Business Journal. Additionally, I assisted other Audience Development Directors in other cities with developing and implementing the strategies for their local markets. Back at the St. Louis Business Journal, I increased revenue under each potential revenue stream in the Audience Development Department, which includes, subscription sales, reprint sales, over the counter sales, and event sales. At the time of my departure in August 2016, the Department was expected to exceed year end budget by over 5% and I had already exceeded the previously struggling non-subscription sales revenue goal by over 30% (roughly $17,000). I also managed all audience events and the Journal's women's affinity group called Very Special Subscribers Club (VSS). I planned all 2016 events for the VSS Club and worked with local business to provide the members with a behind the scenes look into various St. Louis businesses and institutions like the Selkirk Gallery, Four Seasons Downtown, Mavrik Jewelry, Jazz St. Louis and Washington University. I also developed all local marketing campaigns for the Department including, Exact Target, social media, and website campaigns.

As a Development Associate for Jewish Federation of St. Louis, I was responsible for three main initiatives: grant writing, giving circles, and special fundraising projects. As grant writer, I researched, composed, and submitted agency grant proposals. I collaborated with program directors and their teams to collect information pertinent to the grant application to then organize and compose the application. I successfully acquired $182,900 on behalf of Jewish Federation of St. Louis. Additionally, I oversaw the National Young Leadership Cabinet ($5,000+ donors). In terms of special fundraising projects, last winter, I produced a fundraising project titled "Spread the Light," which targeted Jewish families with children ages 0-18. I developed an online platform with an outside marketing team and individually designed presentations to educate the families and their children about the work of the Jewish Federation. I worked with the Marketing Department to upgrade videos for the project and have set a September 2015 relaunch date. I also piloted a program called Giving Circles at Jewish Federation. A giving circle is a group of individuals who pull together resources to allocate as a single entity. I recruited 10 young adults to participate in the young adult giving circle and developed specific programming for the group. I facilitated the discussions over 4 sessions from June to August. Additionally, I also recruited a group of teenagers, high school sophomores and juniors, for a teen giving circle that will take place in the next year. The last special project I worked on is Jewish Federation of St. Louis' major community wide event that was held on September 3, 2015. I coordinated interactive content produced by beneficiary agencies for the event attendees.

During time of transition, I am the acting Director of the Young Professionals Division, a group of young Jewish adults in their 20s and 30s, at Jewish Federation of St. Louis. I oversee the development and planning of all programming, including the oversight of planning committees, development and management of program budget, booking of speakers and locations, development of invitations and publicity materials, recruitment of participants and follow up. I conduct all Campaign-related activities for the Division, including donor review sessions, worker assignments and worker training, donor development, and follow up and continue to cultivate and develop a core group of top leadership and major donors. Regularly, I assist in publicizing YPD activities and accomplishments throughout the community and on social media. I work with other development team members to develop strategies to encourage young leadership participation in national and international conferences and missions. In the past three months, I have encouraged volunteer participation in meetings and events, and have also maintained consistent communication throughout the Young Professionals Division.

As a Junior Development Associate for Jewish Federation of St. Louis, a Jewish non-profit organization focused on preserving and enhancing Jewish life in St. Louis and around the world, I was responsible for one main projects: grant writing. As grant writer, I researched, composed, and submitted agency grant proposals. Between researching and writing, I began assisting the Director of the Young Professionals Division (YPD) of Jewish Federation of St. Louis with event planning and member outreach. I communicated with YPD board members and volunteers to develop programming in the following categories: community outreach, leadership development, and community service.

As a literary agency assistant, I read, reviewed, categorized, and offered suggestions on book submissions and proposals. I assisted with basic administrative work and promoted authors and books via traditional outlets, including the agency's online website.

I spent the summer in Israel on the CLIP Israel Experience trip. The program included an internship of my choice. I worked at the Jaffa Institute, a non-profit social welfare agency for underprivileged children and mothers in Jaffa, South Tel Aviv, and Bat Yam (the three most poverty stricken neighborhoods in Israel). As a curriculum developer, I edited the “Closing the Gaps” curriculum, an English as a second language program for Arab and Israeli elementary aged students. I also educated group tours on the different programs within the Jaffa Institute and worked at the girls' youth hostel, where I participated in daily activities with girls [ages 13-19] 2 days per week.

As part of my participation in the Fellowship for Jewish Social Entrepreneurship, I interned at Diva Communications, an interfaith film company committed to strengthening understanding between religions by building relationships. As a social media and marketing intern, I maintained all social media campaigns (Facebook, Twitter, WordPress), participated in grassroots outreach and distribution initiatives, and sustained online email marketing projects (Constant Contact).

As an intern, I administered customer satisfaction surveys over the telephone, managed emergency communication and financial military cases, and conducted follow up interviews with individuals to ensure requests have been fulfilled in all military cases.
