Christopher King

Blocks and Slides Manager at Stanford University's School of Medicine

Menlo Park, California, United States

About

I am a graduate from the University of San Diego with a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Studies that I completed on January, 2016. I served as the President of the University of San Diego's Roller Hockey Club for over 4 years and have handled duties such as club registration with the University and the Leagues that the club plays in and individual player registration. I managed the communications between club members, university officials, and league officials. Through two separate internships with InnVision Shelter Network, a nonprofit in the Bay Area, I have experience using databases like CRMS, Raiser's Edge, and Clarity. Within these databases, I know how to perform data entry, data corrections, data cleanups, and create event calendar schedules. I can also create procedures, and organize, schedule, and run workshops.
