Experience
Wisconsin Department of Transportation
Program & Policy Analyst (PPA)-Advanced
Southeast Region, Waukesha, Wisconsin. In this position I assisted in the delivery of the Southeast (SE) Region Improvement Program. I provided general program oversight and ensure that monies are spent in a transparent and accountable manner and that state and federal requirements are met. I was also responsible for reviewing activities on improvement projects while institutionalizing best practices from mega projects into daily practice. I conducted research, analyze, summarize and provide recommendations for the Program Control group. I participated in meetings, conferences and strategy sessions involving Region, Division, Department and occasionally, other state agencies providing background information and technical assistance for problem identification and resolution recommendations. I also promoted and administer federal and state policies. My primary focus was on document control and monitoring/tracking financial records as well as the development and review of reports for executive level project management.
