    • Blue and Gold Fund Student Social Media Assistant
      • Oct 2014 - May 2015

      I was hired on by Marquette’s athletic scholarship fund, the Blue & Gold Fund, in 2014 to be their Student Social Media Assistant. Every week I would have a meeting with my superior and together, we created a social media schedule, which I then created social media posts corresponding with the schedule we created. Using applications such as SproutSocial, I monitored the Blue & Gold Fund’s following and social media presence, and relayed that information to the communications department of the Blue & Gold Fund. During my sixth-month span as a Student Social Media Assistant, I increased the Blue & Gold Fund’s follower base by 60 percent. In addition, in a giving campaign during the month of December, the Blue & Gold Fund raised more than $500,000, which was the largest giving campaign total in the school’s history.
