I work with individuals with disabilities and their families to access paid services through the NJ Division of Developmental Disabilities. I get to know the individual's wants, needs, desires, hopes, and dreams to design a plan for them. This can be access to a day program, supported employment, individual supports for activities of daily living skills, and any other vocational type training.

For the last ten years, I have worked privately in my spare time as a public speaking instructor and as a private music instructor. I am also a Certified Personal Development Coach.

I was a central point of contact for coordination of meetings, events, and training programs. Areas supported were scheduling, travel arrangements both domestically and internationally, and providing necessary materials for meeting and training sessions. I was a contact for not only those facilitating the meetings, but for attendees as well.In other areas, I regularly generated purchase orders. I collaborated with my team on when to accrue funds, when to close as funds were to be exhausted, or when to open new orders for clarity and continuity. I also played a role in bringing new suppliers on in order to create such purchase orders.During my experience in this position, I became familiar with SharePoint, and versed in both team site management and web site creation, both for which I was utilized. I was able to facilitate an organized platform for collaboration, as well as creatively maintain sites as requested.Other areas included complex calendar coordination for interviews and meetings with internal and external candidates, supply ordering, and department specific projects.

Contracted to short term positions while seeking a long term assignment. I was placed at Merck in the Facilities department, coordinating employee moves internally, as well as to other Merck locations. This position required meticulous planning and logistical skills to ensure that manpower was effectively used for pickup and delivery of employees' belongings between their existing site and their new site. I worked extensively with the moving companies and onsite facilities management teams to ensure a comfortable transition for employees during and after their moves. This position was later outsourced to Johnson Controls.I was later placed at Johnson & Johnson Ethicon in Community and Public Affairs, a division of Human Resources. I gained experience in basic usage of grant software and HR performance software. This was a temporary fill in position that was filled internally.

This position was my first experience in training coordination, as well as Good Manufacturing Practices. I scheduled trainings in these areas for the general population, as well as for a specialized certificate program, the "Laboratory Analyst Training Certificate Program." Preparing for this program was by registering candidates, scheduling instructors, and sending out preparatory work for attendees to complete and return to me, to be reviewed by the instructors.I assisted with the physical training materials themselves alongside the central reproduction department. I also managed registrations through compliancewire.com.
