At Cinema/Chicago, I served as the volunteer manager for the 50th Chicago International Film Festival. Oversight of the organization's volunteer database, strategic planning of people management, and communications with a volunteer base of 600+ people.
Summary
Interested in aiding and abetting the talents of teammates. Experiments with absurd solutions to creative quandaries. Appreciation for quality over convention. Runs toward fires, keeps easy—easy, leaves room for improvisation, seeks out organization.
