I embrace lean process improvement to enhance customer service and to reduce costs. I have led several large scale technology implementation projects involving the retirement of an older parking system system and the implementation of a modern parking system. I enjoy coordinating parking plans for large scale events such as commencement, departmental graduations, football games, political events, and other special events. I focus on empowering line level staff members to assist with process improvements and serve customers. I lead a workgroup that consists of 28 full time staff and 24 students.
