Volunteer WorkThe Arthritis Society.

In working with the Arthritis society, I operated as a member of a three-person marketing team tasked with developing, planning and co-coordinating marketing efforts for the annual Walk to Fight Arthritis event. Specific tasks included assisting with the development and creating of the TAS brand book and marketing communication plan. I was also responsible for identifying target markets and locations throughout the GTA to promote the event, as well as present the final marketing strategy to the TAS event committee, helping to ensure fluidity with the national office marketing department. Additionally, I was also tasked with the creation, design and maintenance of the Arthritis Society’s social media page for the walk, which is now being used as a model at the national level.

Surfrider Foundation (Australia).As an avid surfer, during my time living in Australia I became involved with the Surfrider Foundation which is an international non-profit group dedicated to ocean and environmental awareness. As part of the “Save Kirra” campaign to raise awareness and prevent dredging practices on the coast, I operated as a member of a three-person marketing team, implementing local advertising and securing sponsorship in marketing the event which took place on Australia Day (January 26, 2009). The objective was to generate high turn out to sign a mass petition, as well as generate participation in a “paddle-out” demonstration.

The Result?....

•1500 participants, forming the shape of Australia.•1200 signatures to pass the petition.•State and National recognition and stoppage of the detrimental dredging practices taking place.

Bringing people together can have impact. With my skills, I will help your company &

clients come together with the people you seek…
