Launched app in GooglePlay or Apple stores offering self-guided loss prevention inspections to meet underwriting guidelines for insurance carriers. While the convenience and simplicity of the app is nice, the overall benefit is identifying potential hazards, preventing future claims, and thus one day lowering the aggregate cost of coverage is the big, hairy, audacious goal. We all win when insureds become stakeholders in the process. Learn more: https://simpleinspection.com/

Reached 11,000 agents on the bespoke platform with a drive to make insurance FUN and FUNCTIONAL. Launched over 20 products with access to over 40+ carriers in personal and commercial lines in niche markets. Sample Carriers: Lloyds of London, CHUBB, Crum & Forster, Travelers, Hiscox, Arch, etc. Highlight: The best part of this job was developing an entirely new brand and shaping how clients and carriers experienced it. We went from a generic name like Commercial Insurance Group to Bigfoot Insurance. It has since been acquired.Projects: Hired a designer for logo based on my initial sketches. Developed messaging and all digital and physical marketing assets. Obtained all the requisite domains, social media handles, and trademarks. Built a new website on Squarespace, grew a huge following on LinkedIn and Instagram, and launched the Bigfoot platform with the founders of Surefyre. When I started, the company was still accepting Accord applications in the mail and by fax. It took a lot of coaxing but we got thousands of agencies to join the modern world by making insurance as fun and simple as possible.

An instructor for the Gateway Program Seminar (GPS): "Baseball: Hot Dogs, Home Runs, and Life". Like other GPS courses at UCCS, Baseball is designed to engage the interests and needs of first year students navigating college life. We explore the history, legends, strategies, and complexities of baseball. Beyond standard classroom lectures and group discussions, students also get the opportunity to score a Colorado Rockies or Sky Sox game and connect with guest lecturers from the industry. With a midterm speech and a group volunteer project, this course offers a hands-on approach to leadership education culminating in the award of an honorary Roberto Clemente Award. On a personal note, the St. Louis Cardinals are my home team and was lucky enough to attend Game 6 of the 2011 World Series. What's your favorite baseball memory? Let me know!http://www.uccs.edu/gps/baseball.html

I am really proud to be the Event Specialist for the 7th Annual Evening for Haiti Gala - Kanaval Edition. Every year we take a moment to celebrate and honor the hard work of our staff, interns, volunteers, and partners. This year we introduced our new Executive Director Wynn Walent. We also celebrated the amazing work of Teresa Henry and Tate Lowery who were not only at the helm of our office in Colorado for the past year, but have been at the heart of successful projects in Haiti as well. We also recognized the tremendous contributions of board members Jackie Martin, Anne Skamarock, Cathleen McManus, Paul Chyc, Erin Snyder Ulric, Fr. Abiade Lozama, Dave Watson, and Jim Rudosky. Colorado Haiti Project supports rural partners in Petit Trou attain lasting change rather than continue aid dependencies. After Hurricane Matthew hit Haiti last year, CHP provided resources to reopen the school in less than two weeks and recently launched a seed bank after most farms and trees were decimated. We celebrated the community-led endeavors to help get people back on their feet. So far 1,200 people have purchased seed to replant their crops, reducing the risk of famine. Mete Tet nou ansanm nou se nou ke fe sa pou kont nou.Meaning: “We put our heads together (or we work together or team up) so that we can do it by ourselves.”If you would like to volunteer your time, please contact us at Office@coloradohaitiproject.org.

At Commonwealth Leagues United, we are the champions of the deep human purpose sports serve in communities. We do this by creating the competitive space between go pro and go home to strengthen communities and return sports to its original purpose and values. I helped match sports management internship opportunities within our organization, as well as connecting our players to local businesses and non-profits.Our community partnerships bolster the character development of our athletes and provide volunteer opportunities like our Annual Community Outreach Day. Not only does this shape their worldview, it helps build and diversify their resume.

I contacted alumni, parents, and friends of the University to solicit meetings with representatives in Alumni and Development. These meetings create, foster, and bolster relationships that help the University move forward. As a scholarship recipient myself, I have benefitted from Annual Giving Programs and I was proud to facilitate these connections.

Provided program support including strategizing campus outreach, planning events, and assisting the presiding priest.

While attending Washington University, I also volunteered at the International Institute. This organization supports the needs of international communities in the St. Louis area. As a Medical Services Intern, I assisted the logistical aspects of coordinating health services for refugees new to the St. Louis area including setting appointments, scheduling interpreters, and arranging transportation services for clients.

Helped educate, motivate and inspire young leaders from around the world. I was a scholar in NYLC and GYLS and made lifelong friendships with fellow aspiring leaders. I worked for Envision as a Faculty Advisor for the National Young Leaders Conference in the spring of 2010 and was eventually promoted to Program Coordinator of Operations for the Global Young Leaders Conference in the summer of 2010. These were contract positions and I returned to Washington University in St. Louis to commence my MA in International Affairs. It was a wonderful and exciting opportunity with extraordinary site visits at the House of Representatives, embassies, the United Nations, the World Bank and U.S. Department of State.
