During my first few months at Burlington, I have observed numerous opportunities to develop automated tools and update business processes. In addition to continuing to drive initiatives to localize merchandise assortments, I am developing and implementing efficiency-driving automated data reporting and analysis tools. The custom suite of VB Macro-enabled Excel tools focuses on reducing non-value added time, and improving visibility to key business-driving metrics.

During a two-year term at Parsons Brinckerhoff, I continued to refine my analysis techniques and methods in traffic modeling and bicycle/pedestrian planning. Many of the projects involved coordinating multi-disciplinary teams such as traffic engineers, civil site designers, non-profit advocacy groups, and public agency representatives. I also explored business development and assisted in preparation of scope, schedule, budget, and interview materials for four winning proposal efforts.
