Moved from working with Human Resources to doing a final project for the company. This involved going out to every business that is on McWhinney development ground to get a number of full time and part time employees. That information was then organized by a team member and myself to compare to what had been previously projected. That project allowed for McWhinney to grasp how many people have become employed in the area they developed and gives a better understanding to whether their projections were correct. As a working assistant for a Legal Team and Broker employer within McWhinney, I was also being exposed to legal documents and contracts within a developer company.

The entertainment was phenomenal.
