Faith Gideon's Portfolio
Below you'll find a list of my present and past jobs, some of the many events that I have planned, and my work in photography
Currently: Intern At USD Alumni Center
University of San Diego
I recently accepted an intern position at the University of San Diego's Alumni Center. I will be helping plan events for alumni and new students, answering phones calls, and carrying out tasks to ensure that all events run smoothly.
Currently: On-Call Insructor
Helen Woodward Animal Center
I teach classes of children, ages 4-15, delivering engaging lectures on over twenty-five different animal species, guiding them through various crafts, and creating engaging educational games. I facilitated hands-on learning experiences, allowing students to safely interact with and handle the animals I worked with, and developed educational materials and activities to enhance their understanding of animal care and behavior.
Vice President of Membership Experience
Zeta Pi Chapter of Alpha Delta Pi
I spent 10+ hours a week planning social events, attending weekly executive leadership meetings, communicating with alumnae, budgeting, running ritual events, and making sisters feel included. In this position I also volunteered 10+ hours a semester at the front office and kitchen of Ronald McDonald House Charities in San Diego
Creative Intern
University of San Diego's Design Lab
I work at the University of San Diego's Design Lab, designing ideas to make our campus more cohesive, inclusive, and sustainable. I created surveys and conducted interviews to sense where students felt disconnected from their school and thus brainstormed several solutions, successfully facilitate the completion of projects from concept to launch.
These years of experience have shaped me into a planner who prioritizes people, experience, and joy above all else.
Past Events
Rooftop Cinema, San Diego
Galentine's Rooftop Cinema Event
I emailed the local company, rooftop cinema, to arrange a Valentine's sisterhood event for my sorority. I organized carpool, made a risk plan, and planned an itinerary for this event. I was able to work with this company and negotiate a discount for our event and the turnout was a raging success!
Helen Woodward Animal Shelter
Animal Buddies Family Festival
I played a key role in helping plan and run Helen Woodward's Animal Buddies Family Festival. I organized volunteers, set up crafts, and took care of animals so that families could come to the property and meet a plethora of different animals.
Big Bear Mountain
Trip to Big Bear Mountain
I successfully planned a trip for 11 people to go adventure through big bear! We got to play in the snow, go bobsled racing, and hike around big bear lake. This trip taught me how to make a group itinerary, as you can see here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fd_Ls_uYmpxuzk3M3Q7CvzOpaMrH-Sb7BU8tsGtlfMw/edit?usp=sharing
