I’m proud of the role I have played in the conception and development of a Dynamic Dashboard and Project Tracker as an Economic Development Specialist for the City of Buckeye. This project has required patience and steadfast commitment. Still, by staying diligent and collaborating with the city’s GIS team, Our Economic Development Projects Dashboard has proven to be a game-changer for us to manage and attract projects.

I am very results-driven, so I wish I had known that economic development is playing a strategy game. Learning more about my city’s existing businesses and connecting them with resources to thrive gives me a sense of fulfillment. Our team does occasional volunteer work as well, and we recently participated in a back-to-school drive to help kids secure school supplies.
