Additional Information

During high school I served on Youth City Council for Cortez, CO (2018-2020). I sat as Chairman, a few of my responsibilities included

  • Prepared agenda for the meetings
  • Writing RFQ's and RFP'S
  • Working with other departments to coordinate projects
  • Conducting meetings with the help of liaisons
  • Pass on information to higher ups in City Council

The most important part of my role was relaying information to the higher ups in City Council. I had to learn to be articulate and creative with my words and ideas. Entering this role allowed me the opportunity to see how city operations are conducted, and the communication and team work needed to make it run efficiently. This voluntary program allowed me a head start developing professionalism in the workplace, allowing me to be a real influence in my community at a young age.
