Work Experience:

Summer 2019: I interned at a startup security company in Huntington, NY named GXC Inc.
During my internship I participated in many aspects of a new company. I sat in on meetings and
telephone conferences with teaming partners as well as potential buyers. I assisted in the
organizing and creation and upkeep of a social media page for the company. During my time
there I also tracked large amounts of data involving the progression of EEO cases while helping
to identify more effective ways to streamline communication with Investigators. The most
important thing I did was sit in on Proposal write-ups during this summer. I got to see and be a
part of how companies win big contracts firsthand.

Summary of Work Experience:

Management Experience: I worked under a former Deputy Director for Dept. of Homeland
Security, Genaro Cavazos. He taught me a lot about managerial communication and streamlining
the process of communication to effectively receive and give the most vital information. I
effectively managed the case progression of over 250 cases during my internship. This included
calling and speaking with over 60 Investigators to obtain information and updates.

Government Contract Bidding: I assisted in writing and organizing RFPs (Request for
Proposals) during my Internship. Two of the three RFPs were for contracts with 100,000+ hours
of work requested. The other contract was a Fact-Finding Investigation like the Ardent project I
worked on. This allowed me to see behind the scenes to how company’s make their proposals
specifically for government contracts.
