Renton, Wa

As part of an engineering-business student team, led the development of a new methodology for determining the carbon footprint of the Boeing 737 aircraft. Worked with factory- to executive-level stakeholders to integrate the methodology with existing business processes, thus reducing resource burden and ensuring accountability despite a complex organization, product, and supply chain. Ensured the credibility of the methodology through compliance with an emerging international standard for product-based greenhouse gas accounting.
