I assist the Project managers in tracking and reporting the status and progression of projects for internal and external reports. I also compile preliminary and final documentation and Instruction and Operation Manuals for our Products for end users. I do cost and activity tracking and summary reports on current and past projects. I am also Acting Assistant Project Manager for two projects dealing with Oil and Gas Pipelines. This role has allowed me to be more involved in the Project Manager role while still assisting the team as an intern. I interact with more customers and provide specific and detailed updates on projects. This position has given me a unique understanding of the entire project lifecycle and given me opportunities to positively affect the outcome of the project.

While I was at Mercedes Benz of Wilsonville I provided customers with a world class luxury experience working in the maintenance and service department. I did a variety of tasks that included managing high dollar automobiles, bank deposits and transportation of VIP’s. I really enjoyed working at this job, I able to experience a variety of luxury automobiles that I would not have been able to be around otherwise. I think my favorite car was the 2013 MB E-63 AMG, the combination of power and luxury were evenly matched and made for a comfortable ride that could get up and go on command.
