As co-director and instructor in three private string music programs, two of which were in rural areas, I conducted community advocacy and recruitment to build the programs in addition to the obvious duties of scheduling and conducting individual lessons, repertoire classes, workshops, and ensembles. I restructured the Michigan program, hired additional instructors, recruited a board of directors and established 501 (c) 3 status. I was the grant writer and project director for several successful arts grants including a "Meet the Composer" grant that facilitated a widely publicized world premiere community event with a well-known composer. The success led to the establishment of a public school string music program for which I recruited an instructor through a cooperative agreement with the private program. Because of the deliberate strategic and succession planning by me and my colleagues, both programs continued twenty years after the original directors moved away. All programs I have co-directed grew significantly during my involvement.

My work at the Senator's office was highly process and project-oriented. I connected the Senator with key constituents and stakeholders statewide through the development and management of her state schedule including the annual eighty seven county tour to advance her legislative, and political priorities. I coordinated outreach staff activities through staffing assignments, represented and staffed the Senator at events, and supported the media strategy. I researched issues and wrote briefing memos, scheduling memos and correspondence. I developed a standard operating procedure manual for the position. I was an integral member of the senor staff team that helped Senator Klobuchar maintain a high favorability rating.

Twin Cities

As field director, I supervised all field staff, volunteer coordinators, and hundreds of volunteers. I developed field plans including voter contact, field strategy, events, trainings, and call programs, and allocated resources statewide. I managed targeting, goal setting, reporting, data analysis and list development. I identified and helped customize the campaign database. As political director I cultivated relationships with organizations, constituencies, donors, and party leadership to advance the campaign operationally, logistically, and financially and became familiar with state policies and leaders on a wide variety of issues. I represented and staffed the candidates at events statewide.
