Education
University of San Francisco, San Francisco, California — B.A. in Advertising, 2012
I spent my first year at Sonoma State as an undeclared major, but transferred to USF for the last
three years. I started at USF in Psychology, and then changed to Advertising in my second year. I
took a wide variety of courses while at USF; most notably, many advertising and public relations
courses, three semesters of Spanish, a semester of Microsoft Excel 2010, and a course called App
Inventor: Mobile Apps and the Web, which dealt with entry level programming for Android mobile
devices. Also during my time at USF, I participated in a year long course called the “Esther Madriz
Living and Learning Community” which was a leadership community. The class itself was primarily
centered around immigration and the impact it has on our society. This course gave us an
opportunity to volunteer for an organization of our choosing. I chose a housing community that
provided extra services for underprivileged families. For about 50 hours, spread over several
weeks, I tutored 10-12 year olds in all their subjects, and taught them basic computing skills,
including Microsoft Office and researching with Google.
Work Experience
Scheduler, DTZ at Genentech South San Francisco, CA January 2014 – Present
My current position as Scheduler incorporates many of the responsibilities that I was taught as a
Planner Assist. Most of the other side duties were passed on to others, while I was given sole
responsibility of the scheduling department. As a scheduler, I take data from SAP and create a
workable schedule for several engineering crews. I work closely with the chief engineers to ensure
that the work can be completed correctly, safely and on time with the current work load. I also look
ahead within our system to allow the chiefs time to plan for major maintenance and building
shutdowns.
Planner Assist, DTZ at Genentech South San Francisco, CA January 2013 – January 2014
The majority of my work with DTZ is completed with SAP and Microsoft Excel. My role was
primarily to support the chief engineers who manage the building engineers. I worked with several
chiefs, building engineers, and our master scheduler. Most of my time was spent scheduling work
orders in SAP, which often requires coordinating with outside vendors. Some other duties include:
requesting confirmation that work was completed, requesting vendor quotes, internal SAP and
Excel training, and generating reports within Excel. This position was extremely dynamic, and
required me to be able to quickly switch from one task to another.
Temp, Premier Staffing San Francisco, CA 2012
While at Premier, I worked for a variety of companies, doing a wide range of tasks. Most of these
tasks were some form of data entry, but others were more involved. One example is Fitbit, where I
worked for a few weeks testing and diagnosing equipment returns. This required critical thinking
and patience. I worked with several other companies as well, including ASTM and Service Source.
Accounts Manager, NSAC Student Competition San Francisco, CA 2012
During this semester long class, we were given a client (Nissan) and the task of creating a
marketing and advertising campaign. Our class had four teams: Accounts and Research, Creative,
Public Relations, and Media. I was the manager of the Accounts team, so my job was to keep my
own team and the class on track as well as make sure that our research was relevant to the
direction of our campaign. I also presented at the student competition with the other team
managers in Reno, NV.
Skills
I am proficient in Mac and Windows systems - MS PowerPoint, Word, Excel, Keynote, and Pages.
In addition to basic computing software I am also familiar with Adobe Products such as, Photoshop
and InDesign. I hold some minor experience with photography/film software such as Aperture and
Final Cut Pro. In my most recent position I have become a strong SAP and Excel user. Throughout
my school and work experience I have gained many time management and self-motivation skills. In
my person life social media has played a large role, I am among the population of early adopters of
todays largest and emerging social media networks and technologies. As a result I am intimately
familiar with Facebook, Twitter, Instagram Google+, LinkedIn, etc.
