Graphic Designer, Event Coordinator, Customer Service
Resume:
COMPANY: Springboard for the Arts/Community Development Coordinator
SPECIALTIES: Graphic Designer/Events, Art Director, Brand & Project Management, Events & Promotions, Communications/Management
NAME: Susanna (Soozie) Franklin
STATUS: Full Time
I am a collaborator, resilient and outspoken advocate and an event creator/organizer. As a mother of now three grown kids/adults and former owner of a boutique graphic design business, I’ve always been able to adapt, juggle and remain agile. I was a pioneer, working from home, (out of necessity with a special needs child to care for), well before remote work was a thing. I’m now pivoting. I’ve always enjoyed working for non-profits and purposeful work. I am looking for the next opportunity where I can put my strengths and skills into action. I know the value of excellent customer service, meeting deadlines in a consistent and timely manner and above all, connecting with people and treating each with respect. I’ve been a community volunteer for decades and know a lot of people in the Twin Cities. I’m excited to contribute in a collaborative and creative environment. I am confident my skill sets, personality and good energy can only become an asset to Springboard for the Arts.
SKILL SETS & STRENGTHS
Customer Service Expert: Throughout my varied career with corporate entities, small businesses, non-profits and through
volunteer opportunities, I have had the opportunity to work with people of all walks of life. I truly enjoy meeting and interacting with a diverse group individuals. I’ve always felt it’s important to treat the janitor with as much respect as the CEO.
Action-Minded Project Manager: I know how to concept and create an event, break it down into manageable steps, delegating to team members and seeing it through to completion. I have experience building an effective, efficient team with colleagues, clients and vendors. I am a “get it done” self-starter, but also can take direction with ease and grace.
Collaborative Thinker: I am an idea-oriented, entrepreneurial- minded person who values working with teams to develop ideas, concepts and opportunities. I thrive on collaborative energy and know how to harness and guide that energy and talent. As a former coordinator of volunteers for another area non-profit, I feel it’s so important to appreciate my team mates and the volunteers who help with the effort.
Skilled Designer: I bring a creative spark in developing unique design ideas and thrive on bringing those ideas to life, using multiple mediums. I am a creative minded human and envision opportunities in projects large and small.
BEST REASONS ABOUT WORKING WITH ME
I am passionate about the work I do: I truly care about how I spend my time and good energy. I deliver quality work and want anything I am involved in, to be stellar. I love bringing people together to celebrate creativity and feel the arts are such an important part of our community lives.
Integrity is important: Words must equal action. I can build on others’ strengths and foster a collaborative spirit. I am a positive person, one who sees the glass as “half-full” and I am dedicated person, one who sees the glass as “half-full” and I am dedicated to improving the lives of others in our communities and beyond.
Sincerely,
Susanna (Soozie) Franklin
