I managed a team of three talented, full-time education professionals. We built a foundation for Member Development based on our Leadership Competency and Wellness Wheel models, leading to winning the NIC's Laurel Wreath Award for Excellence in Programming three years in a row (ELEVATE, PDC and Service Immersion Trips). Based on our 2020 vision, we rolled out, executed and enhanced all of our educational programming. For example, I worked with our team to create the award-winning Professional Development Conference in 2017 and enhanced the Regional Officer Training program from 8 to 11 locations, increasing the participation from 592 to almost 1000 participants and over 180 facilitators. I built the national Philanthropy Committee and worked with our membership to shift our philanthropic focus to addressing poverty issues and implementing our new Service Immersion Trips program. We took strategic steps to build a CliftonStrengths culture among our membership, implemented a member experience survey for all undergraduates, and built the Phi Psi Family volunteer network from scratch, adding over 330 members in two plus years.

I look back at my time with L.E.A.D. and have nothing but gratitude for the people who supported me and the opportunities I was presented. As a graduate assistant, I was provided more development than I would have ever imagined. This includes co-teaching and designing curriculum for our First Year Leadership Classes for two years, an in-depth exploration of CliftonStrengths and industry leadership models, develop and revise curriculum for our Summer Leadership Summit, {I}Experience, RA training, and other associated campus programs, and create the Extraordinary Leadership Series from the ground-up, including the selection of topics, locations, speakers, programs, event planning, and a comprehensive marketing campaign.I was also tasked with designing all of the quantitative/qualitative assessments of all programs and social media initiatives. I became trained in low/high elements outdoor adventure programming. I maintained the social media presence (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Wordpress) of the department and gave numerous presentations to faculty/staff and student organizations. Needless to say, my graduate assistant experience was unbelievably beneficial for my growth as a professional.

Due to the needs of the University, Jonathan Albarado and I were asked to develop and deliver a series of faculty/staff trainings on social media topics. Program examples included an introduction to LinkedIn, developing a social media strategy for your department, how to best utilize selected social media programs, etc.

After college, I had the pleasure to serve my Fraternity in this capacity. Over two years, I traveled to 60+ colleges and universities. Travel would persist for up to 3 months at a time, primarily living out of my car and in random student dwellings. During my time as a Consultant, I was an integral part of the creation of a 8-week consultant training program, including creation of facilitation materials, building standard documents, and facilitating daily curriculum. Over time, I developed a strong ability to facilitate chapter programming as seen fit for a specific group. I covered areas such as new member education, committee operations, risk management, leadership development, etc. When you're on the road that much, you quickly refine your public speaking skills to groups of up to 150 men and women (over 80 presentations total). Topics covered areas of goals/objectives, values congruence, organizational management, enhanced recruitment techniques, etc. Additionally, I spearheaded the social media campaign of the Educational Consultants.

This was an extraordinary opportunity to serve as an intern alongside Curator Ian Tattersall, Gary Sawyer and Gisselle Garcia in the Anthropology department. During my summer on the team, I completely re-organized the entire collection of hominid fossils into geographical designation and gained a great understanding of human anatomy and everyday museum proficiency.
