Northern Virginia

I oversaw sales, marketing, scheduling, and quality control for multiple teams in the Northern Virginia and DC area. As manager, I ensured that all projects are executed profitably and in compliance with standardized business practices. Additionally, I made certain that each team delivered value and excellence to the clients and I maximized on each team’s strengths to ensure greatest success.

Greater Denver Area

I successfully coordinated projects in countries around the world, including Gabon, Bahrain, the Democratic Republic of Congo, India, Myanmar and Colombia. In my position as a project manager, I responded to the client, the company that contracted us, my company, and a range of government and local officials. With so many interests and priorities on the table, it was essential that I demonstrate strong communication skills, flexibility, and a solution-oriented approach. In the preliminary stages of a project, I was responsible for negotiating access and any required permits and stipulations for work in the host country and in that specific community. This often required communicating and negotiating with many different people, from federal organizations to village chiefs, demanding a great deal of diplomacy and cultural sensitivity.Upon arriving in country, I hired and trained local staff and developed a project-specific plan for project implementation, tracking, and monitoring. This allowed me to quickly gather large amounts of data and assimilate it into meaningful and useful daily reports to all parties. Throughout the project, I provided various types of reports and documentation, including written reports, maps, presentations, and spreadsheets. This also allowed me to be proactive and easily identify next steps for action as well as meet project deadlines. We completed these surveys in sites all around the world, and each came with its' own unique set of challenges. In Bahrain, I led underwater surveying teams in scuba gear - the first time Peregrine had ever done this. In the Congo, we were in an area riddled with landmines and had to hire demining specialists. In Gabon we worked in dense vegetation and had to face the many challenges of an African jungle environment, including charging elephants. In Colombia, as a foreigner, I was not even allowed to leave base due to kidnapping threats and had to find new creative ways to manage the project.

Asheville, North Carolina Area

I organized and facilitated outdoor recreation trips, activities, events, and ropes course challenges. I taught technical skills workshops and lead freshman team-building orientation programs. Additionally, I assisted with day-to-day program logistics and administrative duties. I was responsible for safety protocols and risk management and maintained equipment for all of our programs.

Charlotte, North Carolina Area

During this time, I managed several different stores in the Charlotte area. In this role, I hired employees and trained not only my employees, but also other managers and district managers. As a manager, my primary goal was to ensure outstanding customer service. To create an environment where employees felt valued and to reduce turnover, I developed growth opportunities, improved communications, and transformed store culture. I believe that great training, shared vision and effective management are essential to the success of the company and happiness of the employees. As a manager, I strived to assure that all employees had the skills, training, and support that they needed to be amazing at their work. I worked to create a culture with a family feel and a strong sense of mutual respect. If employees are treated well and rewarded for their hard work, they develop ownership and pride in the success of the team.Additionally, I implemented measures to reduce product loss, monitored store profit and loss statements and responded appropriately. This, along with training and coaching staff on procedures and selling techniques, lead to increased store productivity and customer service. Specifically, I successfully increased sales in historically low-producing stores and received recognition from the company for this success.
