-Contributed to customer service, safety, and airport design meetings by adding an outsider’s perspective to the discussions.-Assisted in the designing, proofing, and implementation of a door naming system for the entire airport [rooms, doors, stairways, security checkpoints, elevators, etc.]. This system was crucial due to the need by inside and outside security/ political officials to easily decipher the type and whereabouts of an airport space in the event of an emergency or security threat.-Created an SOP (standard operating procedure) for a private security position, which is being used to train present and future employees on how to perform his/ her job effectively and efficiently. -Redlined contracts to outline specifically all of the changes between a former/existing contract and a new contract or IFB (invitation for bid). The Board of Supervisors required it to minimize time spent on reviewing the differences in the scope of work and expenses.-Performed a field survey of existing signage, assembled a presentation of findings, and stated my input on the conditions of the signage. Before ending the internship, I began and almost completed the scope of work for the contract requiring contractor(s) to install a variety of new signs to help pedestrians find their car, other parking levels, and the terminal entrances/ exits.-Project evolved to include survey of various items requiring some sort of maintenance, and also additional signage to improve the look and feel of the passengers' parking experience.-Organized documents (contracts, agenda staff reports, purchasing documents, & misc.) into helpful, simple electronic folders for easy access for multiple users in the facilities/ maintenance department.
