Experience

NEPIRC

Northeastern Pennsylvania Industrial Resource Center

• Own NEPIRC’s information systems, its AI policy and its disaster recovery, and the policies that hold them together.
• Built the Salesforce object that tracks employee expenses and mileage for federal reporting, and review the records each month, sending them back when something is off.
• Approve the monthly organization-wide credit-card expense reports.
• Built the KPI, budget-versus-actual, pipeline and sales-forecast dashboards, with year-over-year and month-over-month views for project managers and business advisors.
• Run the quarterly state and federal client impact surveys: scheduling interviews with business advisors, pulling the project reports and talking points, and sitting in on the interviews themselves.
• Help manufacturers report their impact accurately, and use those interviews to introduce the grants and services they may need next.
• Took over marketing in May 2025 when the marketing manager left: promotion for events and trainings, cut sheets, social posts, e-blasts, the WordPress site, SEO reporting, and the review of open rates and registrations.
• Selected Conga for proposals, set it up and trained the staff who use it, which took the manual work and the errors out of the proposal process.
• Conduct NIST 800-171 and CMMC 2.0 gap analyses for regional manufacturers, and report the findings.
• Ran NEPIRC’s NIST Supplier Scouting work: industry trend data, and matching Pennsylvania manufacturers with domestic suppliers.
• Write the grant narratives and the closeout reports, and maintain the CRM bridge between NEPIRC and Pennsylvania DCED.
• Run Manufacturing Day, NEPIRC’s largest event at more than 300 attendees and 100 exhibitors, and NEPIRC’s Advanced Technology and AI Summit, including exhibitor sales for both.
• Launched and host the Manufacturing Matters podcast, and appear on live television and radio on manufacturing and AI on the factory floor.

• Moved the organization off SalesLogix and onto Salesforce: design, build, customization, rollout and staff training.
• Designed and stood up NEPIRC’s Innovation and Technology Lab.
• Wrote and taught a three-day SOLIDWORKS Basics course for manufacturers who needed an introductory step before Essentials.
• Wrote the remote-work security and operating standards that more than 1,800 Pennsylvania companies used during COVID-19, work the International Economic Development Council recognized at the national level.

• Oversaw NEPIRC’s IT and cybersecurity, including system administration, and designed and built the NEPIRC website on WordPress.
• Owned the federal and state quarterly reporting: economic impact metrics, grant narratives, and custom reports for lobbying.
• Served on the KC3D advisory board for the rollout of the Keystone College 3D Lab.
