• Floor Manager

  • Nov 2018 - Dec 2018

  In this position I managed a team of roughly 40 members in various warehouse and volunteer management roles. During our "processing season" we handled an estimate of 870,000 donated shoebox gifts preparing the boxes to ship overseas. Due to the quality of our team members and management this year we were exceeded our all expectations and finished ahead of schedule. As a floor manager nearly two-thirds of my staff was directly responsible for training, coaching, and overseeing hundreds of volunteers daily. Achieving our goals that "every shoebox would be handled with excellence, expediency, and care" and that "every volunteer would have an amazing experience" was determined in a large part by my team. With the feedback we received from our volunteers and the fact that we finished ahead of schedule it is clear that those goals were not only met but exceeded our expectations. As a management team our goal was to equip and empower our staff to achieve our goals and that is exactly what we were able to do.

• Church Relations

  • Jul 2018 - Nov 2018

  This was my second stint as the member of this team with roughly 5 months and a goal of connecting with as many churches nationally as possible and I was thrilled when I was asked to join the team again. As a returning team member not only was I given my normal duties but was also involved in the training and equipping of many of our new team members. Due to the nature of our team this year at the start of our assignment I volunteered for an additional amount of work in both connecting with leadership teams and local churches. With these increased responsibilities I finished ahead of schedule and moved on to assisting other team members.As a member of a local and satellite office, and a national team I enjoyed the opportunity to grow my ability to work with both a local and remote team. As a church relation associate I had the joy to connect with church leaders and volunteers in at least seven states, accounting for tens of local area teams, hundreds of volunteers, and thousands of donations gifts. I came alongside to support local team leaders giving myself the additional goal of encouraging them through our weekly email. Due to my efforts, in conjunction with the area teams, many churches were equipped, informed, and encouraged, and all of the area team leaders expressed their gratitude for my efforts not only in my regular role but also for my often timely encouragement.

• Church Relations

  • Jul 2017 - Dec 2017

  As a church relations associate for the west coast and half of the northwest I was tasked with connecting with hundreds of churches in support of tens of area teams throughout the western and northwestern states. I also had the responsibility of preparing and dispersing weekly order reports and aiding in the networking for each area. This role required a high level of communication via calls, in-person meetings, emails, and video chats and detail oriented level of spreadsheet management and sharing. I was required to navigate the needs of my many connections as well as those of my office and national teams in a timely and proactive manner. In addition to the regular requirements of the job I had the joy of seizing opportunities to go above and beyond in both donor care and volunteer team leadership guidance. One more than one occasion I took the opportunity to spend additional time with new leaders who were struggling in their roles to enable them to refocus and reengage. As office and organization wide needs arose I lended a hand to achieve success on the tasks at hand, which lead to being cross-trained in many other roles. With all the tasks both anticipated and unexpected I was able to completely my assignment ahead of schedule and assist other members. After finishing my term in church relations I went on to work in the Orange County processing center for the season.
