At EY, I have been working on a Enterprise IT Transformation project for a multi-billion-dollar automotive company. I lead the migration workstream which includes rebuilding regression test suite files for over 700 dealerships and analyzing payment discrepancies between the two vendors in order to ensure the integrity of payments. Previously, I have supported the validation workstream which included leading client calls to understand how car payments are generated for various auto dealerships located across the United States. I then used this information to assist in the creation of dealer specific backend setups and launch each dealership on the online pricing platform. This project requires the regular use of JavaScrip Object Notation (JSON) coding, a regression suite testing tool, and excel. I also have been selected by the team to lead our weekly team meetings. In addition to client facing work, I lead the onboarding process for new team members which consists of a three week training period.

During my time as a substitute teacher, I was able to work with a wide range of students from kindergarteners to high schoolers to those with special needs. While implementing lesson plans and maintaining the continuity in educational objectives, I learned the importance of flexibility and adaptability in order to support the needs of individual students. I was also responsible for managing classroom behavior and fostering a positive atmosphere conducive to learning. Overall, this experience equipped me with strong interpersonal skills, time management techniques and strengthened my leadership skills.
