I ensured exceptional customer service by greeting members and guests as they entered and exited the facility, engaging with members and guests and creating relationships with our clients. The Lake Forest Health and Fitness Center holds exceptionally high standards for staff, as member attraction and retention is one of our highest priorities. As the first face members and guests see as they walk into the center, it is important that I represent the club in a professional and positive light. During my time at the club, I have established a reputation for being thorough in all that I do. I answer questions and book appointments both in person and over the phone, often while multi-tasking with the busy front desk operations. I am comfortable using POS systems and Compete Software and adept at learning new computer systems for the job, as well as staying up to date with any new updates. Additionally, I am quick to lend my creative talents to create advertisement boards for pro shop sales, any special appointments, or just making a sign advertising new equipment.

After finishing up my work with the mitigation side of the Climate Action Plan, I transitioned over to working with the Resilience and Adaptation team. We met with numerous faculty, staff, and students to ensure that we were garnering feedback from our campus community as well as numerous subject matter experts to ensure that our goals were feasible. In addition to the Resilience Plan, I helped plan a Welcome Week event that reached over 5000 incoming freshman and transfer students. I helped organize student group, community groups, and even designed an "Amazing Race" type game centered around sustainability.

I worked specifically with the UFleet to help plan and lead biweekly meetings with our working group as well as perform research to analyze the U's fleet, other college fleets, and sustainable fleets around the world to create the best plan of action for the unique challenges at the University of Minnesota Twin-Cities. I was given a large data set generated from a consultant and created an algorithm to find "best fit" replacements for ICE vehicles on campus. This involved taking into account carbon emissions, CapEx and OpEx, available infrastructure, and vehicle availability. This work allowed me to hone my data management and analysis skills pertaining to decarbonization.
