      Junior Project Management Intern

      While working at GMP, I had multiple duties that introduced me to project management, specifically construction management.

Valuable and unique skills that were developed include being able to read structural drawings and perform quantity takeoffs, obtaining quotes from subcontractors, using AutoCAD, and analyzing tender documents.

      Manufacturing Intern

      Executed multiple Lean Six Sigma continuous improvement projects on processes that support biomanufacturing. These projects involved GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) documentation control, sterilized parts flow improvement, and data collection/database creation. My projects improved manufacturing teams which helped prevent deviations and shorten lead times.This was truly a great learning experience where I gained a lot of knowledge about the pharmaceutical industry, manufacturing, and soft skills regarding working with others.
