• Managed six technology implementation projects worth $450K, tracked progress across fifteen workstreams using Microsoft Project and Monday.com,
and ensured all milestones were completed on time and deliverables met defined requirements.
• Designed and implemented automated Power BI dashboards that monitored over twenty-five KPIs, including budget variance, resource utilization, and
quality metrics, reducing the monthly reporting cycle from five days to two days.
• Led bi-weekly scrum meetings for a twelve-member cross-functional team, assigned and tracked action items in Confluence, and ensured project tasks
were completed efficiently, improving team productivity by 30%.
• Administered and tracked more than thirty-five project tasks in JIRA, coordinated contractor schedules, renegotiated vendor contracts, and reduced
external project spending by $75K annually.
• Coordinated user acceptance testing and quality assurance processes, collaborated with design teams using Figma, and applied Six Sigma
methodologies to improve process efficiency and project delivery standards.

● Identified a critical gap in university-provided transit guidance for co-op students, where standard mapping tools defaulted to walking directions exceeding 1 mile to reach job sites, an unreasonable expectation for a daily work commute, particularly for locations extending out to Zone 8 on the MBTA Commuter Rail map.
● Cross-referenced the MIE Co-op database of Massachusetts-area employer locations against existing MBTA and shuttle schedules, flagging routes with wait times exceeding 10 minutes as priority candidates for alternative transit mapping.
● Researched and compiled route, schedule, and fare data from regional shuttle and commuter rail services for flagged locations spanning Boston to outlying Zone 8 towns, surfacing direct transport options not indexed by standard mapping platforms like Google Maps.
● Built interactive route maps in Tableau visualizing optimized multi-modal transit paths for co-op employer locations with insufficient existing coverage, improving commute visibility for students working outside the city core.
● Collaborated with cross-functional stakeholders to translate consolidated route data into functional requirements for a planned student transportation app, contributing to early-stage product scoping before the initiative moved into development.

weekly status reports for a $3.5M program. Applied dashboarding concepts and monitored KPIs and OKRs to ensure program milestones were met.
• Maintained hardware and software procurement data in Salesforce, designed fifteen standardized request forms in SharePoint, and streamlined IT
purchasing processes, reducing turnaround time by 40%.
