Citizen Advisory Commission/Committee Application <br />Commission/Committee Planning Commission <br />Applying For <br />First Name Sam <br />Last Name Tift <br />Address <br />City Orono <br />State Minnesota <br />Zip Code 55391 <br />Phone Number <br />Email Address <br />Work Experience For the last fourteen years I've been working in the fields of <br />marketing, operations, and technology. I spent the last several <br />years working remotely on behalf of nonprofit and political <br />advocacy groups at We Are RALLY, a communications firm, <br />based in Los Angeles. Prior to my time there, I worked for a <br />wide range of clients, including the Minnesota Timberwolves, <br />Lindus Construction, Game of Thrones, and most importantly, <br />Uber, where I spent the formative years of my career working to <br />expand ridesharing across the United States. At Uber, I <br />developed a new advertising investment framework that allowed <br />the company to more acutely pair marketing investments with <br />evolving marketplace needs. I helped scale this framework <br />globally at Uber, reshaping how advertising investments were <br />made at the company. <br />Education After attending Benilde St. Margaret's, I left for Washington to <br />study government, receiving a Bachelor's Degree in Political <br />Science from American University. My experience there also <br />afforded me the opportunity to intern on Capitol Hill, with <br />Senator Amy Klobuchar, and later with the AARP, in the highly <br />suspenseful months leading up to the passage of the Affordable <br />Care Act. My years away from Minnesota taught me a great <br />deal about the inner -workings of government, policy -making, <br />and legislative advocacy. <br />18 <br />
