Volunteer Experience
College Volunteer Work
I have been involved in the Pre-Physical/Occupational Therapy Club the entire academic year. During my time with this club, I have given my time to Rake the Town, Sibley Park cleanup, and the Relay for Life. I have contributed close to 15 hours for this recognized student organization and I plan to contribute more in the future. I have also contributed annually to the Mankato Marathon. The Track & Field team serves as a cheer team for the marathon around mile 7 of the marathon course. Over the past 3 years, I have contributed around 15 hours to this volunteer effort.
High School Volunteer Work
During high school, I was in National Honor Society for 2 years. This program requires a set number of volunteer hours per semester. I compiled 70+ volunteer hours over the time period of 2 years. In addition to these volunteer hours, I accumulated 60+ hours at a long-term care facility. I assisted residents in transportation throughout the campus. I also coordinated various activities such as cards, dice, and music events in order to enhance the living environment for the residents.
Work Experience
Student Manager
Employment Type: Part Time
Minnesota State University, Mankato Annual Fund
Start Date: September 2016-Present
I work 3 times a week during the school year on campus. I learned how to operate a data system known as Campus Call. This data system is preloaded with prospect information, which includes information about friends, family, and alumni. I monitor student fundraising assistants to ensure that they correctly update addresses, degree information, and employer information on the prospect files. We use Campus Call to acquire prospect pledges that are designated to various funds that are available on campus. These pledges aid students who are seeking scholarships. They also improve the future of the university by improving programs, research opportunities, and student involvement activities. As a student manager, I practice high-level detail orientation. I complete a folder that consists of pledge reports, credit card reports, change demographic reports, and assistant director comment follow-up reports nightly. I help set up the shift by preparing the computers for the student fundraising assistants. I was a student fundraising assistant for a semester before becoming a supervisor.
Youth Track & Field Coordinator

I create a positive environment where kids feel welcome and ready to learn the basics of Track & Field. I designed a timed practice rotation for the 3 scheduled days of practice to ensure the children are able to experience a variety of events daily. I typically manage about 100 children with the assistance of volunteer coaches who are members of the high school track & field team. I travel to track & field meets and ensure the children show up to the events that they have signesd up for. Prior to attaining the position of coordinator, I volunteered as a coach for 4 summers in high school.
