  Everything at the newspaper is on tight deadlines. While balancing those I developed new relationships and worked to improve existing ones in a town of 5,000. Started as 2nd sales rep, but have been only sales rep since Feb. 2019. Created static and animated ads; wrote features, promotions, and reviews; created videos.

  By expressing endless positive energy I entice people to sign up for an in-home estimate for HVAC equipment while at Costco. I average 2 appointments per day with a 20% conversion rate. Essentially, my efforts enable Cooper to net about $15,000 a week in sales.

Ethos Consulting Group

• Sales Associate

  • sep. 2014 - feb. 2015

  Ethos is a subsidiary of Cydcor (the campaign manager for independently owned sales offices). The sales system they use for Century Link, Verizon, DirectTV, etc. is quintessentially capitalistic and highly effective. I learned a lot in my short time with the company. I learned direct sales techniques, how to create systematic growth, and the power of positive organizational culture.

RuffaloCODY

• Fundraiser

  • sep. 2013 - jun. 2014

  I elicited donations from friends and alumni of Colorado State University to support program initiatives. Our team of 15 would typically make 2,000-5,000 dollars a night. In a 3.5 hour shift I would make an average of 150 calls with a 12% pledge rate. My gross earnings for CSU was a little over 40,000. I learned how to cold call, be persistent, and engage almost anyone. I elicited donations from friends and alumni of Colorado State University to support program initiatives.

The Collegian

• Editor at Large

  • okt. 2013 - mai 2014

  For internship credit I wrote news stories and editorials related to CSU research programs and other community policies. I was the political and community beat reporter for the CSU community. I liked to be creative with my topics and analysis in order to entertain the audience. I wrote news stories about mind control research, DUI enforcement laws, police body cameras, the impact of legalized marijuana, the city ban on fracking, traffic cameras, student health insurance, hemp research, tuition expenses, etc...



Center for Public Deliberation

• Student Associate

  • aug. 2013 - mai 2014

  I facilitated group deliberations of 6-8 people to uncover underlying values and divergent alternative thoughts about polarizing issues that affected the community. I facilitated deliberations on senior transportation issues in Fort Collins, agriculture in northern Colorado, national energy policy, and democracy in America. The CPD's method is a new approach on community development and I believe it is a great way to enhance a community.

Chatfield Charter

• Editor & writer

  • aug. 2007 - mai 2010

  For three of the four years at Chatfield Senior High I reported for the school Newspaper. I focused on student profiles, entertainment news and sports reports. I developed my writing voice, learned how to use Adobe Photoshop and InDesign, and exemplified the nerdy journalist stereotype.
