Eli B R Barrett

I am a longtime resident of Gainesville. I received AA degree at Santa Fe College. Presently, I am enrolled at the University of Florida, expecting to graduate in Fall 2018 with a BA in political science and a GIS certificate, which I hope will further complement my skills in data analysis. In 2016, I worked as the data manager for Ken McGurn for Congress. As data manager, I was responsible for developing phonebanks, canvassing, online targeting, and mailing lists from campaign data sets. When the resources provided were insufficient, I applied my knowledge and expertise of voter behavior to enhance my targeted audiences.

I have experience in the following areas: managing social media for outreach and organizing; social media planning, posting, interacting, and analyzing Facebook posts; web editing using WordPress; organizing (e.g., phone calls for contacts, tabling, etc.); designing targeted social media engagement for specific stakeholders; planning and setting priorities; remaining conversant with new technologies. I have strong verbal and written communication skills, am able to work collaboratively to accomplish goals. Moreover, I am passionate, dedicated, empathetic, and committed.
