The mission of the Utah Microloan Fund is to empower underserved communities throughout Utah by providing business training and funding up to $50k to entrepreneurs in start-up & existing businesses that do not qualify ​for traditional funding sources. I fulfill a dual role here as we are a small but mighty team. I provide one-on-one counseling to the 100+ clients of the UMLF. This includes advising these small business owners on best practices on how to start or grow their business. I also participate in the development, promotion, coordination, and delivery of small business training classes. Both the one-on-one counseling and our trainings focus on social media, marketing, sales, business planning, cash flow, HR needs. To do this I manage a database of my clients and their business information, viable guest instructors, class materials, and more. I also prepare ongoing reporting on the program to our government and corporate benefactors. For outreach, I handle the A to Z of the marketing and outreach for our organization. This includes managing our website, social media profiles (LinkedIn/Instagram/Facebook) our online presence (Google Business, Yelp, etc.), participation in local chambers/events, branding new, etc. The primary purpose of our pages is to share helpful resources, market our classes/events, info about our loans, and more. I also spotlight our clients by sharing updates from them as well as Business of the Month interviews I write into a blog each month. I am also able to design all of our art needs such as flyers, reports, graphics, animated social posts, and more. I just helped roll out a brand new website for the UMLF along with our developer Eighth Avenue Designs. In addition, I run our client advisory board which is comprised of current borrowers who meet quarterly to provide valuable feedback to our organization. I also help prepare our annual report, help facilitate the marketing and admin of our Banking on Women program, and much more.

As Even Stevens moved from the start-up arena to enterprise, the possibility for a single departmental focus was made possible for me. As the Giving Program Director I along with my team facilitated all aspects of the Even Stevens give-back to our 80+ non-profit partners across 6 states. Under my direction, the team strategized, created, and sustained relationships with non-profits across the Western U.S. This full-time focus was exciting because I was able to formulate and implement goals for the program’s growth, scalability, sustainability, budgeting, as well as overall integrity and non-profit satisfaction. This included on-going site visits, quarterly reporting on the success of our program, implementing and achieving goals for our program, and more.I also worked hand in hand with our creative department to effectively market our program and individual partners, facilitate PR opportunities, collaborate on in-store and online messaging, as well as providing a pipeline of content to represent our program online.

Even Stevens was in it’s infancy when I was brought on board the founding team. As Director of Community Engagement, my duties often varied drastically from day to day but my main responsibilities were launching our social media presence, building and maintaining our Cause program as well as developing community engagement opportunities to raise awareness about our new brand. This included developing in-store specials/menu items, organizing PR/social media materials and campaigns for deployment, planning, facilitating and supervising in-store and off-site events and much more. In addition, our Cause program was crafted with careful criteria in place such as efficiency, effectiveness, sustainability and reduction of food waste for our partners. This was an exciting time as we got to create all aspects of the brand including design, menu, branding and wear multiple hats as our brand grew and expanded into new markets. https://www.facebook.com/evenstevenssandwicheswww.evenstevens.com
