In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, I began a 3-month temporary assignment to assist Unilever North America's Retail Category Management team that was seeing record sales numbers. Some of the projects I worked on include:Product attribution & report building for all hair care products sold through Walmart stores across the US, for purposes of sales reporting, space planning, and data analysis. Report building and analysis of Sam's Club floor plans/blueprints for purposes of determining consumer flow, sales reporting, and space planning. In this time I was also able to greatly improve my skills with Excel, as well as brush up on my working knowledge of scriptwriting in VBA. I greatly reduced time spent building reports by writing my own tools to automate repetitive tasks.
