In the past 3 years, we have successfully relocated over 600+ pets to their new homes in all 50 states and 35 different countries.

Huckle Inc.
Marketing Intern
March 2015 – October 2015
I had the pleasure of meeting the founders of Huckle at the 2015 LAUNCH Festival in San Francisco, CA during the launch of their beta application. Two weeks later, the founders, Jordan and Greg, offered me a position as a Marketing Intern with Huckle working at CU Boulder. My tasks include developing campaigns, creating awareness, setting geofence locations, beta testing, and improving student engagement.
Founder
April 2018 – Current
Similarly to Ship Your Pets, Alaska Pet Movers is a subsidiary that specializes in pet relocations specifically to and from Alaska. In March of 2018, a pet died aboard a United Airlines flight which eventually led the world’s largest airliner to stop taking reservations for pets and put their whole PetSafe program on hold. This limits hundreds of families’ options to relocate their animals across North America and cuts off Alaska completely to large animals and dangerous breeds. Alaska Pet Movers, a planned service from AK to/from the Lower 48, offers customers with fast and efficient transportation options to help relocate their loved ones.
US Marketing
September 2016 – April 2017
Working at FATMAP I was tasked with a growing US marketing efforts. Being one of the two people working from the Denver office my responsibilities ranged from Mapping Content to Facebook Ads. Throughout the majority of my internship, I was in charge of running all the Facebook ads in the US and Europe. From this, I grew my responsibilities to include email campaigns, lead generation, task automation, creating partnerships and expanding our advertising reach. My experiences at FATMAP have helped me gain valuable knowledge on a wide variety of fields and self-management.
Sales Internship
November 2014 – May 2015
At TermScout I was a general sales intern working extensively with Salesforce. I am also responsible for multi-tasking other business tasks from sales calls to mailings. Working 15+ hours a week with a full college schedule.
Pokestop.one
Founder/Designer
June 2016 – August 2016
Pokestop One was an online store with Pokémon inspired Colorado Gear. This idea came to me while on vacation, right when Pokémon GO was released within 3 days of the announcement I launched. I had designed the prints, set up individual product printing and fulfillment, all with ZERO overhead. Flash forward, we sold over $2000 of product within the first 3 weeks of launching. Unfortunately due to the decrease in popularity of Pokémon GO I decided to stop selling after 2 months of our start. This venture helped me learn about product marketing through various channels ranging from Reddit to Facebook Ads. It also made me value the key of community within consumer products.
