It was common for me to also oversee or assist proposal coordinators on other projects, often while I was deep in my own proposal.When spending time away from business development, I was often times collaborating with the head of Client Services on tasks including department goals and procedures, forecasts and database maintenance, and vendor relationships.The nature of this role allowed me to become a hub of resources. This had proved to be handy as I was quickly and regularly approached to assist in resource and information collection by co-workers across the organization.

With Texas state With Texas State University I was an intern for the Assistant director of Marketing and Promotions. This was a wonderful internship that helped me gain much experience in the sports industry.In this position I would work many sporting events for all the mainstream sports in college. This includes football, volleyball, soccer, basketball, baseball, and softball. My main duties for the sporting events included preparation of all promotions for the event, and carrying out those promotions during the event. I would also work in the office where I would assist my supervisors with any marketing and events tasks that they needed to be complete.This role had me more involved in the office setting of marketing and promotions. I would be in charge of creation of promotions and promotional materials, editing game scripts, and implementation of marketing plans. It was also my responsibility to promote up-coming sporting events around the city. This usually had me at the center of campus telling all the students of any events. But I could also be found around the city spreading the news.This position gave me a greater sense of all the goes into marketing and promotions. I would say this internship provided me the most insight and experience to my sports careerMy greatest accomplishment:Toward the end of my internship I was given the responsibility to help coordinate our 2012 football season home opening pre-game event. I worked with the ROTC Captain at the university and scheduled a military flyover. I rented a field sized flag from the Alamobowl to be revealed during the National Anthem. After those I coordinated smaller promotional events that happened around the stadium. Everything went down perfectly and the event was a success.

I worked with Game Crew my first season with the Spurs. My main goal in this position was to execute on-court and in-arena promotions during, before, and after Spurs basketball events. The promotions were usually fan related contests and most of the time were tied in with a corporate sponsor. These often took place during any intermission in gameplay. The other Game Crew Members and I would be sure to carry out these sponsored promotions accurately and in a timely manner.The beautiful thing about this position is the amount of timing and precision must go into the duties. Being on such a large scale as the NBA, presentation is everything. Any mistake could potentially ruin the promotion, make the Spurs look silly, or even as bad as interfere with current or potential sponsors. The fact that my co-workers and I were trusted with such a big responsibility was truly meaningful. Needless to say we executed our duties perfectlyDuring my second season I was a member of Team Energy. Team energy is a bit different than my role with Game Crew. My position was still centered around promotions, however, these promotions were more in the spot light and had greater fan interaction. This would usually involve getting the fans excited before, during, and after Spurs basketball events. This means we would get immersed in giant crowds of people and do what it takes to get the crowd going.Promotions still played a major part of this position. Some of these promotions were not sponsored and were more for greater fan involvement included t-shirt tosses, flag waving, and starting Spurs chants.Greatest Accomplishment:I was voted Top Employee with my involvement with Game Crew and the Team Energy member of the season for my outstanding performance and enthusiasm during both season. I was awarded these because of my leadership, commitment, enthusiasm, and overall work ethic. Winning these awards was easy task and it was truly an honor to receive them.

The marketing and promotions side of this position included execution of promotional events throughout the game, and creation of promotional material. I also assisted in the development of writing sponsorship announcements. For game operations I worked the scoreboard and assisted with the set-up and break-down of the field.My role here was a bit different.I was the assistant to the Promotions Manager . My role was a supervisory role to the others interns. It was my duty to see that all promotions were set-up and executed properly. Along with being sure the interns performed well, I was also a guide to their needs and questions about their duties, roles, tasks.Greatest Accomplishment:One night after the event all of the other interns had left, my supervisor, the facility manager, and I to take apart the entire field. This included the wall around the field and the turf. Since there was only three of us working this took a lot of time and energy. It was definitely a rather intriguing (and long) experience!
