In May of 2018 I began my project management rotations with the Energy Resources department. In this department I completed projects such as business case evaluations, position reclassifications, and cost adjustment factors for the gas and electric utilities. I was in this department for approximately eight months before I moved over to the Parks, Recreation, and Community Facilities department. I am currently in the Facilities Maintenance division of this department where I am handling all things pertaining to Facilities and Parks contracts such as: bids, RFP's, Award Recommendations, Change orders, badging, and process mapping.

As of June 2016, I have been working as a Management Associate under the Office of Management and Budget Director. The Management Associate program is a 4-year program designed to provide young professionals valuable work experience within a Municipal government and City Management. Starting off working out of the Management and Budget Office for the first 1-2 years allows for Management Associates to experience a full budget cycle, gain an understanding of how department budgets are developed, strengthen their grasp on revenue generators and are given the opportunity to offer input and new ideas from their own professional work experience. As a Management Associate I spend 50% of my time on budget related tasks, while spending the other 50% managing special projects for various departments throughout the city. Some of the projects include contingency plans, process improvement efforts, staffing models, and costing out departmental decisions.

I work as a Graduate Assistant for Southern Illinois University Emergency Management and Safety. I am learning how Emergency Management work at every level of government.
