2009 - 2011

I served a voluntary 2-year mission in S!o Paulo, Brazil where I helped teach people about Jesus Christ as well as provided physical labor service in delivering food and building shelter. While I was there I learned to speak the Portuguese language fluently. I also taught English as a second language and held many leadership and training positions. 1st Light Energy 2012

I worked and excelled as a marketer for 1st Light Energy. I found people whose homes qualified for a state funded solar program and helped sell them on the idea of going green and saving money. I also performed some visual media work for them including designing presentation material. This job required rigorous work ethic and exceptional people skills. BYU-Idaho I~comm Agency 2011 - 2012

I volunteered as a copywriter and researcher for our agency. I~comm is a student ran agency that performs real work for businesses and associations in the area. We worked on such accounts with clients such as United Way and several others. The work required teamwork, creativity and fine attention to detail.
