Summary

One of my biggest accomplishments is working with Emergency Management during COVID-19. I got to experience items coming from the Strategic National Stockpile, I worked with local partners to get Personal Protective Equipment and other items needed during COVID-19. I wrote the Logistics plans for two major PPE dispensing events. Before COVID-19 began, I began writing a community plan with private, public, and governmental agencies to address a mass dispensing emergencies with vaccinations, not just pills.
