LEGO Wall Mural A Permanent Display at Local Science Center
ExplorationWorks is a wonderful partner with Intrepid Credit Union located just around the corner from our corporate office in Helena. After I joined the team in 2021, ExWorks and I worked together to come up with a unique way for Intrepid to sponsor the programs and services the
science center offers to the youngest members of our community. The lego wall was the solution. It took 75 people and over 40,000 lego bricks to bring the 16ft. mural to life. We created a partnered campaign with ExWorks to promote the piece and ask for the community to donate bricks to make the project come to life and generate early buzz. We saw an incredible turnout, with community members bringing in old boxes of legos to donate.
Construction began in summer 2023 using the Lego themed summer camps to build some of the mural. As part of our partnership, I pitched offering our employees family passes to ExWorks which provides after-school and summer camp options at a discounted rate for pass holders. It’s become a wonderful benefit to employees and showcases Intrepid’s commitment to local non-profits.

Promoting Community as a Montana Ambassador
Who are the Montana Ambassadors? The Montana Ambassadors elevate Montana's economic vitality, workforce, and quality of life for its citizens; members are nominated and signed in by the current governor for a lifetime honor. As an organization, we build and explore business opportunities for Montana through business expansion, retention, and recruitment efforts. Aiding in large projects like Yellowstone. Have you seen the Yellowstone series? The impact of that one series has had significant ripple effects on our state, providing jobs and promoting Montana to the world. The Ambassadors were a huge part of ensuring that series was filmed in Montana. We assist Montana Officials as a voice for Montana in and out of state - and Yellowstone is a shiny example of that.
As VP of the Helena Chapter and member of the Board of Directors, I am heavily involved in this organization. The Helena chapter hosts a meet-up each month highlighting businesses and socials. I have led the Ambassador’s Annual Convening for two years working to bring a stronger brand to the stage and create more opportunities for Ambassadors to connect with one another for greater impact.

Festival of Trees - Giving Back to the Community with WOW-worthy displays
The Intermountain Festival of Trees is an annual event in Helena that raises funds for Intermountain’s programs that help children and families in the Helena area. Each year is themed and organizations, like Intrepid Credit Union, go all out to create a themed tree that will raise the most money and wow the judges and community.
In 2023, we went all out with a Star Wars themed tree called “May the Forest be with You,” based on the event theme “Forest of Dreams.” Our tree raised $8500 and won “Best of Theme” from the judges. Not only are events like this great for our community, it’s also a wonderful way to engage with your team members and get to know each others strengths in a new way. Every year, I always design a stunt that fits into the theme. Last year, Alice Cooper introduced our rockin’ roll themed tree over video, this year we had a stunt with Princess Leia asking the audience to “Help Intermountain you’re our only hope!”
