Hi, my name is Jeff Holt. I am currently enrolled in the Professional Communication major at Saint Cloud State University. I received my Associate of Arts degree from Ridgewater College in 2019. I am married with 3 kids 7, 4, and 2. In addition to working full-time and going to school I am also a volunteer fire fighter for the city of Buffalo in Minnesota. I am a veteran of the United States Army. In my “spare” time I enjoy pretty much anything sports related but have been spending a lot of time at the hockey rink, as I play on a veteran only hockey team. Additionally, I like spending time with family in some sort of capacity. I have been in the work force since I was about 15 years old in various roles but the majority of them have been in some sort of customer service capacity. The job I currently have is a company I have been with for coming up on 10 years. in my current role, basically, I research a request that comes from a customer, put together all of the information that I gather from my research, and take all of that and compile it into a presentation. I previously started this blog for one of my classes back in 2020 but have not had much of a chance to go in and use it again. In addition to setting up this blog I have created a marketing campaign which included budgeting, preparing mock-ups, brochures, schedules and multiple other facets of it. I had to build it from scratch by coming up with a name, a slogan, photos, and even a slide deck with a vocal presentation describing each slide. Ultimately, my goal is to work for a professional sports organization in some capacity. In my opinion, the social media platforms used by many organizations are only scratching the surface and have a lot of room for growth and expansion. That is where I hope to take my talents and experience after graduating with my degree.
