    Blue Ribbons Review Intern

    I worked as a summer full-stack developer intern on the Blue Ribbons Review website team. Blue Ribbons Review is a ASP.NET MVC based website where customers can browse deeply-discounted products found on Amazon.com and also leave reviews for them.

    As an intern I completed both front- and back-end stories in the Blue Ribbons Review Code First Entity ASP.NET MVC web application. I compiled a detailed account of some of these stories in the README file on my project GitHub (here)

    Human Resources Associate - Benefits

    My time at PPS began working as clerical support in the Human Resources Dept., before I quickly moved up into a role as an HR Associate in the Benefits Dept. As a Benefits Associate I worked as a part of a close team to administer and organize benefits programs for 6000+ employees. I performed technical work inputing a variety of employee benefits data into our HRMS and verifying the accuracy of input and output data. I also assisted with the implementation of a new Peoplesoft Benefits Administration module (for online enrollment), helping with testing and user-friendliness of the system.

    In addition to my technical duties I also worked in a customer service capacity to help explain district benefits, respond to inquiries, and assist and advise employees with benefit plan selection.

    Guest Services Ambassador

    As a Guest Services Ambassador I managed affairs at a stadium entry (Gate 5), assisting with directions and ingress and egress for thousands of fans. I also worked to resolve unexpected issues (ticketing problems, customer complaints, medical and other emergencies) and helped to train many fellow employees working at stadium entry.

    BS History & Social Science

    I graduated summa cum laude with a bachelors degree from Portland State University in 2015. Studying history and social science helped me work to become an accomplished analytical writer and critical thinker. I also spent time learning about local/global systems and the basics of ArcGIS as a geography minor.
