I enhanced customer satisfaction through meticulous consultations and precise project estimates, leading to increased client confidence. Following project completion, I conducted regular follow-ups to gather feedback for continuous improvement and ensure client satisfaction. Additionally, I adeptly managed multiple projects concurrently, prioritizing deadlines and upholding rigorous quality standards throughout the process. Moreover, I supervised large-scale projects, making on-the-fly decisions to resolve spontaneous issues efficiently while minimizing costs. Furthermore, I expanded my skill set by learning how to use various power tools to complete small repairs and projects, demonstrating a commitment to hands-on problem-solving and resourcefulness.

As an intern under Dr. Ryan Caesar, PhD I supported staff members by assisting with their daily tasks, thereby lessening their workload and enabling them to concentrate more on higher-priority assignments. This experience also allowed me to gain valuable insights into ins and outs of the biology research industry, where I could directly apply learned concepts from labs and lectures into real work situations. Additionally, I collaborated closely with cross-functional teams to meet project milestones and deliverables. Through these collaborations, I built strong professional relationships with mentors, peers, and collaborators within the universities scientific and environmental communities, fostering an inclusive learning environment.

During my tenure as a Special Olympics liaison, I orchestrated the highly successful Kacie's Run event, which garnered an impressive $50,000 in funds. This achievement underscored my adeptness in fundraising and community engagement, as I collaborated closely with local businesses to secure financial support. Moreover, I engaged with special education students, actively listening to their needs and advocating on their behalf. A notable highlight of my role was spearheading the organization of a large-scale intercity fundraiser dedicated to acquiring a new bus for Special Olympics participants. Through meticulous planning and effective communication, I mobilized resources and garnered widespread support for this endeavor, exemplifying my dedication to fostering inclusivity and support for individuals with special needs.
