In this role, I coordinate strategic hiring initiatives, including open interview events and employment advertisements. I execute employee engagement efforts to increase employee satisfaction and retention. For our union employees, I manage the job bidding process and handle job changes. I schedule interviews and job testing, as well as completing the entire onboarding process with new hires.

As Honor Council Head, I mediated disputes between members, worked with everyone to find solutions to overarching issues, collaborated to create progress plans for sisters struggling academically and financially and track their goals, gave informational presentations, and attended seminars. I was the head of a three person council. This role required significant confidentiality and discretion towards sensitive matters.As a Tri Sigma Sister, I continuously recruited women that align with Tri Sigma's core values since joining in 2021. I have volunteered and helped coordinate events for Tri Sigma's three philanthropies: Tri Sigma Foundation, Robbie Page Memorial, and March of Dimes.

I became President at the start of the semester when IUP was allowing students to return to campus and hold in person events. Because club involvement was minimal during the pandemic, I recruited an entirely new executive team and increased overall membership from almost nothing to nearly where our membership was prior to the start of the pandemic. In this role, I coordinated various opportunities for students in the areas of: professional development, guest speaker events, mock interviewing, resume and LinkedIn tutorials, community service, student involvement, and internship/employer openings. I ran bi-weekly meetings, gave presentations, and coordinated an executive team of four other students.

Latrobe, Pennsylvania, United States

During my internship, I analyzed and presented wage and employment data for 5 of our locations, directly impacting the wages of over 70 employees. I created criteria to measure skills that accompany wage progressions to provide the opportunity and incentivize employees to increase their skillset and improve performance. I coordinated and planned logistics for an employee appreciation food truck event that required collaboration with the vendor, managers, and supervisors to accommodate for about 520 employees spanning 3 different sites at our facility with varying/rotating shift times. I completed the entire hiring and onboarding process (Workday) from resume review, testing and interviewing candidates, to completing their new hire paperwork, giving trainings, and providing necessary materials during their first week. I assisted with our ongoing recruitment efforts for some of our locations, which included attending job fairs, advertising job openings in newspapers and online, and assisting with flier distribution. Additionally, I completed various HR tasks such as conducting internal I-9 audits to ensure federal compliance, updating job descriptions, logging vacation information for payroll (Kronos), and updating employee filing.
