Notable Projects
Worked with teammates to move entire hospital location after a new hospital was constructed in 2017. Leading up to the move I assisted Timothy Bowers in a variety of projects including the assembly, testing, and inventory of large amounts of new medical equipment purchased for the location.
Collaborated with coworkers during the covid pandemic to re-open our old hospital location while simultaneously completing all work requirements at CMH. Responsibilities included the rapid sourcing and deployment of a variety of equipment and supplies. A highlight included personally obtaining an order for 100 IV pumps for the location before the pricing was dramatically raised due to demand.
