Since 2005 I've been working at Purdue. I began as a part-time student worker, but quickly earned the respect of those working around me. I've held numerous positions at Purdue and that, along with my time as a student, has given me a comprehensive understanding of how Purdue operates.My current position as Project Manager for Undergraduate Initiatives has each workday looking different and brings new opportunities to my desk year-round! Some project examples include orchestrating and finalizing articulation agreements with Ivy Tech and Vincennes, coordinating updates to student service websites, and data distillation for various student metrics. I also lead the Purdue Kiewit Scholar program. Through Kiewit Scholars I work with top students in construction studies to provide leadership and professional development to create tomorrow's industry leaders! My supervisor trusts me to work independently and allows me to make decisions and changes that improve our program and the lives of our students. I am a proud Purdue alum and employee!Specialties: International Communication, Database Maintenance, Recruiting, Event Planning, High Volume E-mail Management, Handling of Confidential Material, Interpreting and Archiving Legal Documents, High Profile Advertising, Working Independently, Training New Hires, Handling High-Stress Situations, Fast Decision Making Skills, Ability to Adapt to Challenging and Changing Work Environments, Ability to manage large work groups
