  Sunoco Aplus Franchise - George Key, Inc. & Exxon On the Go Market

  Jan 2008 - Jan 2013

  Management

  Beginning with my Grandfather George Key in 1965, our family Sunoco franchise has been one of the top performing franchises in the Pittsburgh area, as well as recently achieving awards for in store sales and performance, which is recognized by the corporate office. George entered the business along with my father in 1970 working in service stations where they would own several locations over the past 45 years. As George began to take a step back from the business, my mother, Gigi, would step up with my father and would continue to grow their Sunoco franchise as well as expand to now owning a Sunoco and and Exxon On the Go Market in Dormont, each located within a quarter mile of each other. These businesses have led to a lot of success as well as developing interpersonal relationships in the town of Dormont, right outside of the city of Pittsburgh, making both locations very depended on by the loyal customers in the area.My experience here began with me growing up in a doorway bouncer as a baby in the store while my parents worked hard every day to grow their business to what it is today. As I got older, I found myself more and more involved, whether it was self maintenance carried out through my father or even meeting and working with representatives, just to provide assistance when needed and grow my experience portfolio. As I entered my high school career, I began full-time employment, starting as a cashier where they would develop me to a manager role by the time of my Junior and Senior year, exposing me to all the backend management revolving around the development of the business.To this day, I stay involved in the stores as much as possible granted my college studies are in Philadelphia. Between attending trade shows, meetings, and special topic seminars, I look to provide consulting services to my parents where I can assist them in the trends of merchandising to the consumer market as it is today.

  Henkels & McCoy, Inc.

  Apr 2015 - Sept 2015

  CIQ Intern (QA/QC) - Pipeline Division

  This was my second Co-op at Drexel University. I worked as a Continuous Improvement and Quality (QA/QC) Intern in the Pipeline Division. Spent three months in New Jersey performing the Quality Management tasks of pipeline construction for Williams, and three months performing Quality Management for 1 project in Harrisburg for Spectra, 1 project in Butler County, PA for Columbia, 1 project in Washington County, PA for Columbia, and 2 projects in Waynesburg, PA for Spectra and Columbia. Tasks include but are not limited to conducting tests, inspections, and audits of the work being done by H&M personnel, tracking welder performance along with go back costs, responding to nonconforming issues, and working with the gas company's inspectors and engineers to ensure the work being done meets expectations as well as mitigating risk.Along with what is listed above, I look for ways to improve how Quality Management is applied to H&Ms production. Use of IPads is now utilized in the field so on site reports can be made and submitted. Improving the process so it can be applied to all projects and is easy to learn is the end goal for me at my time at Henkels and McCoy. Show less

  Mar 2016 - Sept 2016

  CIQ Intern

  Returning for final Co-op cycle at Henkels & McCoy as a Corporate Intern in the Continuous Improvement and Quality department. Main tasks include providing support to multiple regions in several lines of businesses, such as Gas Distribution, Power Transmission, and Pipeline Construction.During the summer, I was relocated to the Central Region in Batavia, IL to provide Quality support to Gas Distribution as well as implement the ToolWatch program into the region to monitor and track tools for calibration purposes. This Continuous Improvement Project derived from the Region's A3 Business Plan, beginning with the Quality Department developing the ToolWatch system to monitor and track calibrated equipment used across the region. With future plans having ToolWatch fall under the Procurement department, I would then spend time with other departments to develop Procedures and Standards of Work to create a sustainable system for the Region to use. Compared to my previous Co-Op with this company, the was more of an administrative role within Continuous Improvement in the company, while being exposed to A3 Business Planning and Execution as well as following Lean Construction mentality.
