Specifically, I worked in the City Manager's department and completed numerous assignments. I helped to discover and recommend updated workplace policies, researched and crafted a memorandum regarding an update to housing policies, and assisted with many other administrative roles. My most valuable experience came in spearheading a project with the local animal shelter and the Veterinary Medicine program at Kansas State University. I initiated and led many meetings, contract negotiations, and further progressed the relationship the City has with the University leading to a contractual agreement between the two entities. This required me to practice multiple types of communication, facilitation skills, planning, self-driven work, collaborative cross-departmental work, and relationship building. This contract helped to save the city money on surgical/veterinary costs, further their relationships, and benefit the growth of the program for Kansas State University. Overall, I developed and grew my skills in communication, independent work, time-management, professionalism, public service and adiministration. Show less
