Derek Bruce Email & Phone Number

Gainesville, Georgia

As the Senior Event Coordinator at the Warnell School, I coordinated vendors, supplies, equipment and set up for various events, conferences, and meetings within numerous departments. These events were used to encourage growth and participation of alumni, students, donors and friends of the school.

I started my career at the Warnell School as a student worker while attending UGA and continued as an Administrative Assistant after graduating. My duties included managing numerous UGA Foundation accounts and processing gifts for those accounts, coordinating large scale mailing and outreach materials and maintaining the Alumni and Development office and event supply inventory.

While interning with BLI, I was contracted out as a landscape designer and also supervised an install crew on various jobs (some that I designed and others that were designed before I started).

While working at the Georgia Nature Center, my primary duties consisted of scheduling and assisting in tours of the facility, maintaining the greenhouse and organic garden, and ordering, potting, and selling new exotic plants.
