Starting on my very first day at Oswego County Opportunities, Inc., I joined the Public Relations & Marketing Committee and the OCO Development Committee where I was quickly recruited for event planning. Given my previous experience working with Game Informer Magazine, GlitchCon, and 2DCon in an almost exclusively digital space, I assisted OCO Development Coordinator, Bridget Dolbear with converting OCO's popular and reoccurring fundraising event, "Giving Thanks" into a virtual format in November of 2020. Together in a team of four, an art auction website was created and maintained, alongside a script, props and two filming and photography session for promotional materials and the Facebook Livestream for the event itself. Sponsors and donors were able to watch local restaurants share recipes and wine and beer pairings alongside OCO's art auction. I helped coordinate delivery of art and prizes to each winner in the following months.

​

I also worked alongside the same team to create and promote OCO's May 2021 Virtual Trivia Night Fundraising Event and the August 2021 "Glow-a-Fun" Golf Tournament.
