Recent graduate from the University of Mary Washington with a major in Communication and Digital Studies and a minor in Business. Currently, I am an Associate Research Analyst at Deltek in Herndon, Virginia where I help provide business development support and market research to our clients, most of whom are small businesses.While at SAIC, I worked as a Competitive Intelligence intern conducting market research. During this time, I took ownership of the internal Competitive Intelligence portal, which meant I was responsible for maintaining current/relevant competitors news and contract award information for SAIC’s top competition. I assisted in developing and maintaining Competitor Profile slide desks to support BD/Capture staff. I gained knowledgeable experience with databases such as GovWinIQ, DACIS, and Bloomberg Government. By doing this, I was able to offer support to BD/Capture staff by pulling customer specific opportunities to support pipeline needs. Through my internship with Shirley and Banister Public Affairs, I was able to learn the ins and outs of the Public Relations field. I spent my time contacting and booking clients on shows such as America's Newsroom on Fox, All In with Chris Hayes on MSNBC, The Dana Loesch Show, and the Daily Show with Trevor Noah. Speaking with TV and radio producers daily gave me the skills necessary to successfully pitch stories and deal with people involved in the media.
Listed skills include Customer Service, Public Speaking, Communication, Microsoft Office, and 13 others.
