Underwriting Representative, Radio K Minneapolis, MN
February 2011-May 2012
As Underwriting Representative, I created unique underwriting opportunities for local and national businesses to maintain the financial viability of Radio K. I generated creative ideas for revenue generation, created personal relationships with local and national business owners and representatives, worked closely with traffic, production, marketing, and program directors to facilitate contract fulfillment, and managed fundraising drives through working with local businesses to provide amenities for student volunteers. I also managed participants in the Music Lover’s Card discount program and stayed current on FCC rules and regulations for public broadcasting to ensure that Radio K underwriting continued to be in compliance with current guidelines.Team Lead, University of Minnesota Marching Band Minneapolis, MN
2010-2011
As the Tenor Saxophone Team Lead, I was the mediator between the directors and the section. I worked closely with other leaders as well as the Tenor Sax leadership team to teach marching fundamentals and music for our weekly shows. I lead sectionals, rehearsals, and scheduled team building events outside of regular rehearsal.Specialty Show Host - Pop Is Dead, Radio K Minneapolis, MN
September 2010-May 2012
As a host, I was a voice and representative of Radio K. I created a playlist for each shift, and between 15 minute sets I gave a short (minute to minute and a half) break, including backtracking the set, promoting upcoming concerts sponsored by Radio K as well as directing listeners to RadioK.org, and a forward promote to keep listeners listening. I also maintained blogs and fan pages via RadioK.org and Facebook to facilitate listener interaction with the show and stationReferences

Who I Am
- I graduated from here (with honors even).
View Larger MapI spent most of my time either here:as the top Underwriting Representative in station history, or here:
where I was the Tenor Sax Team Lead for two of my four years in the program, and did things like this:Among these, I also went to class, where I worked on things like this:and this:which made it to the Top 100 most viewed entries for the 2011 Doritos Crash The Superbowl competition.I'm currently putting my Journalism-Strategic Communications degree to use working as a host/bouncer/professional window washer at The Crooked Pint in downtown Minneapolis, but needless to say, I'd love to move into a more permanent career.
