*I opened the Atlanta venue of Impact Museums venue network, a highly technical immersive experience and event space. We successfully launched the Disney Immersive Experience which saw approximately 3,000 guests a week. From the time I started until opening, 3 weeks, I assisted in the staffing and training of a team of 5 full time and 70+ part time employees. * I led the training of all staff from point of hire and created a training manual for the onboarding process.* I managed staff on all levels including disciplinary oversight, training, payroll, scheduling, and daily assignments. Together we developed an amazing immersive experience for our guests.*My role allowed me to use my strong knowledge of process development to launch key operations for ticketing, retail, food and beverage, guest experience, building management, and show operations. * I oversaw operating budgets for labor, utilities, supplies, and equipment, as well as daily reporting. * I worked to develop a system for inventory of consumables and supplies. This did not exist upon opening.* I developed relationships with external vendors, in order to secure contracts and managed services.Unfortunately the venue network had to close due to larger issues but I greatly valued my time there, my team, and the lessons learned.
