I reached out to The Farmhouse Weddings before moving to Indiana when my husband was given an opportunity in the area. Although at that time The Farmhouse was fully staffed, when the current event coordinator moved away the owner remembered me and offered the position. Since then I revamped all promotional material for clarity and conciseness. Each season was fully booked; and with the owner’s confidence in me, we started hosting our own events under the brand TheFarmhouse@52. The hosted events provide additional revenue during the off wedding season and local promotion of the facility.From a couple's first interest in our venue, I was a source of contact for tours and planning questions. I acted as an in-house wedding planner for them, including set-up, event timing, and flow. We offered everything but food, music, and pictures - for an unforgettable wedding day.

While looking for a way to become more involved in the community, I joined Billsboro Winery first as a tasting room attendant and was thrilled to add the private events coordinator position to my duties when asked.As the private event coordinator, bookings increased 100% without spending any money on marketing; and I overhauled and streamlined client invoicing, contract, and event tracking information. After observing the first private event under my coordination, neither owner felt the need to be present for future bookings – a prior standard practice – to oversee flow and execution. These private events helped supplement the Winery's income during non tourist seasons.

I joined Guardian straight from college and received tremendous education in supervision, operations process flow, lean methodology, and project coordination. I worked up from their leadership development program into a supervision role, and then was asked to coordinate improvements for a production line.We had recently purchased a new machine to cut glass, but our production levels weren’t keeping up with demand, forcing daily schedule changes to ship product on time. I was asked to tackle the issue, which included creating a standard work instruction for each shift to follow and simplifying the production schedule. That project was my most rewarding accomplishment at Guardian; where in one year we increased process production 100% - exceeding customer demand and allowing us to take on additional customers. Furthermore, we leveraged a process yield idea for the line, which in turn increased upstream production capability by $1.5 million/year. Part of these changes occurred during some manpower reorganization and I was asked to be the acting manager during that time.I was also involved in our plant’s migration of quality documents from paper to an intranet based system. During this process I proactively updated documents and eliminated redundancy enhancing operator ease of use.Throughout my employment with Guardian I maintained my First Responder certification and was in charge of reacting to medical and safety emergencies as a certified volunteer First Responder Team Member.Courses:Global Sullivan Principles Leadership Workshop Cause Mapping 1 (type of root cause analysis documentation by Think Reliability)Conflict Management Training (Woody Woodburn)

Throughout my college education I held a position as a co-op employee: my first introduction to the business world. My projects challenged me; progressing from report migration to department manager, culminating in a thesis project. After the company struggled for 10 years unsuccessfully based on product cost, my thesis project identified $80,000/year potential savings with the implementation of a new branded packaging labeling system.

My two years as a resident advisor gave me the chance to acclimate new students to Kettering through mentoring, arranging programming, and maintaining student safety. Many went on to become leaders at the school through different organizations.In the course of 7 weeks I recruited 8 faculty members for open advisor positions in Alpha Sigma Alpha, allowing us to maintain good chapter status with our national organization.
