About

With 2 years of professional experience and a B.S. in Information Systems, I am eager to add value by learning new systems and applying creative and integrative solutions.

Through diverse projects, I've gained experience in stakeholder communication, collaboration and project management. While at GLTC, I was responsible for presenting to involved stakeholders such as the Lynchburg Deputy City Manager, Senior VP of Liberty University, Regional VP of TransDev and GLTC management.

In connection with the transit assistant project, I was interviewed (pg. 33) by the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT) about my work to improve rider experiences in the community and help provide 24/7 customer service coverage.
