Work History

Athletic Director/Communications Intern

Butterfield Park District
Glen Ellyn
05.2025 - 09.2025
  • Directed all camp and league operations, focusing on program development, staff management, and budget oversight.
  • Engaged in the reorganization of the park district's social media, engagement had been declining, especially on Instagram. We conducted a content review, analyzed metrics, and created a new posting schedule focused on storytelling and user interaction. Through this process, we were able to achieve a 45% increase over a two-month period.
  • The athletic department needs to boost engagement with the community to bolster league participation. I constructed a targeted promotional strategy. I developed digital content, including social media posts and email campaigns, highlighting new athletic programs and student-centered events. The result of this action was a 55% increase in league registration.
  • My staff struggled with sharing updates and project statuses efficiently, which led to missed deadlines. Through a process, I introduced shared Monday.com dashboards to help track timelines and provide a weekly team recap to monitor task progress and streamline internal communication.
  • Evaluated the performance of coaches and staff through regular assessments and feedback sessions.
