What Was My Role?

As the Administrator’s Assistant for the Licensure in Elementary Education Program (LEEP), I supported a program designed to prepare future K–12 educators for Oregon public schools. My responsibility was to step in where the coordinator needed additional support—solving problems, managing logistics, and ensuring small but meaningful projects moved forward smoothly. These projects directly contributed to the program’s branding, student engagement, and professional presentation.

One of my biggest projects was supporting the program’s branding by managing the full logistics of both the logo creation and the production of branded T-shirts. I coordinated with a graphic designer, gathered feedback from leadership, sourced a local screen-printing vendor, and oversaw the entire process from initial concept to final delivery—ensuring the program received cohesive, professional branding materials on schedule.

Task: “We want a logo. How do we make that happen?”

To solve this, I initiated and managed the entire process from concept to delivery. I identified a graphic design student who needed portfolio experience and coordinated the collaboration. I communicated program needs, gathered feedback, set expectations, and ensured the project stayed on track. The result was a polished, professional logo that now represents the LEEP program.

Next Task: “We want T-shirts with the new logo.”

With the branding established, I researched local screen printers, evaluated options, and selected a vendor in Portland. I coordinated timelines, submitted design files, confirmed proofs, and managed communication between the vendor and the program. Within a month and a half, the program had both a new logo and branded T-shirts ready for students and staff.
