Samuel Claiborne About Me

I am a Business Administration and Marketing student at Colorado State University (graduating May 2026) with a Music Business Certificate. My work is driven by a “community-first” mindset, focused on the administrative precision that allows creative and civic projects to thrive. Currently, as a Discovery Agent at the Fort Collins Museum of Discovery, I bridge the gap between operational logistics and public engagement, facilitating seamless experiences for the local community.

Whether coordinating the FCMoDSquad for events like FOCOMX and Sonic Spotlight or managing the regional operations for my band, clementine, I specialize in turning complex schedules and data into successful, community-oriented outcomes. I am eager to leverage my background in project coordination and marketing to support initiatives that strengthen the social and cultural fabric of Fort Collins.
