Managing legal documents and cash flow, and validating system performance across multiple rocket launches to guide prototyping iteration.

Directing financial operations, organizing grant funding, and forecasting budgeting frameworks to track early-stage expenses and investment planning. Applying experience in corporate relations, teamwork, electrical engineering, manufacturing, and business development processes. Embler Control Systems competed in the Volusia County Pitch Competition, winning "Best Technical Startup."

Communicating directly with professors and the Dean of Students to help address declining admissions into the program. Formulated an outreach plan combining social media promotion with on-campus information sessions, and supported prospective students through 1:1 phone calls to set them up for success. Advised and guided prospective students on the benefits of the program.

Led a 10-member communications team to strengthen collaboration and alumnae engagement. Rebuilt alumnae relations through mentorship programs and event coordination. Increased social media reach by 300%, through strategic public relations and branding initiatives. Supported philanthropic events to raise awareness for foster care and homelessness.
