Help run and set up the scorers table for basketball, soccer, volleyball, baseball, and softball. Take high-quality photos of track & field, cross country, and softball. Set up the live stream on Mount Marty Sports Network Youtube Channel. Write game notes, programs, recaps, previews, and other press releases for the athletic website. Employ strong digital and technical skills, using tools like Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom, and Boxout. Professionally help run the Mount Marty Athletics Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook platforms. I completed a research study about improving and creating an online presence using social media platforms. I successfully tripled the online presence of the Facebook account, while keeping a sustainable presence with the other platforms. Helped take on and run a #WomenInSportsWednesday project during the month of March. This project helped MMU partake in Women's Appreciation Month and help bring more traction to our female athletes and coaches. Show less
