PROJECT MANAGEMENT, TECHNICAL WRITING, TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

RESEARCH & DATA COLLECTION, GRAPHIC DESIGN
Dedicated professional with outstanding performance in the challenging industry of transportation planning and traffic engineering
Self-motivated and detail-oriented with the ability to work independently with minimal supervision
Strategically involved on 60+ high-profile projects in California

PROJECT MANAGEMENT- Proven ability to balance multiple projects while meeting intermediate and final
deadlines. Function as a member of multi-disciplinary team.
 Managed a wide variety of studies with budgets greater than 30k from proposal through final submittal
 General plans for the cities of Maywood and La Mirada, traffic impact studies for the Monrovia Library and
Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall, shared parking studies for the Fontana Civic Center and Mar Center Hotel
 Secured over 15 additional contracts by exceeding client’s budget, quality, and timeline expectations
 Contracts for high-rise condominium developer G.H. Palmer Associates, Los Angeles Unified School District,
Jack in the Box
 Collaborated with municipalities, transportation departments, and metropolitan planning organizations to
expedite the planning and approval of development projects and designs for transportation infrastructure

TECHNICAL WRITING- Effectively communicate high-tech concepts to technical and non-technical audiences.
Seamlessly incorporate text with tables, calculations, graphics, and appendices to illustrate key points.
 Authored numerous documents ranging from single-page memorandums to reports over 50 pages
 Traffic impact studies, parking studies, general plans, transit studies, traffic signal and stop sign warrants,
expert witness cases for traffic accidents, queuing studies for drive-thru locations, etc
 Won a “Best Student Paper” award from the Intermountain Section of the Institute of Transportation Engineers
for a research paper on reducing freeway congestion through ramp metering

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS- Conduct well documented and comprehensive multi-stage analysis. Reliably make and
proof calculations, enter and manipulate data, and perform systematic measures for quality control.
 Determined needs and deficiencies of transportation systems based on projected conditions and provided
recommendations to resolve the deficiencies
 Modeled traffic networks exceeding 50 intersections using Traffix and Synchro - fully applying Traffix to simulate
multiple development scenarios in a single file
 5 building layouts for a combined elementary, middle, and high school campus occupying over 4 city blocks
 3 alternative sites for a 1-million sqft Federal Courthouse in Los Angeles
 Analyzed census data with ArcGIS to provide realistic predictions of future travel patterns
 Overlaid the school boundaries for several anticipated schools with the actual location of appropriately
aged children
 Developed the geographical distribution of traffic added by the growth of West Los Angeles College
according to student zip code data
 Streamlined labor-intensive and error-prone processes by utilizing the advanced features of software programs
 Wrote Excel spreadsheets to automate the entry of traffic counts into modeling programs thus bypassing
manually typing at least 1,200 numbers for a study with 50 intersections
 Transferred data between programs by importing and exporting files

RESEARCH & DATA COLLECTION- Develop project-specific methods for gathering information based on research
of emerging trends and analysis techniques. Compile information from multiple sources into one database and avoid
cost of unnecessary surveys.
 Created public surveys and forms to isolate information needed for analysis
 Trip generation study for Starbucks to quantify customers travel behavior by distinguishing planned trips
made solely to Starbucks from pass-by and multi-purpose trips
 Parking study for a proposed Episcopal Church to estimate the number of parking spaces needed based on
attendance and parking utilization at an existing location
 Skillfully performed data collection and ensuing analysis for large-scale studies involving multiple counties
 Examined truck routes throughout Riverside and San Bernardino County and determined the optimal location
for a regional compost plant
 Assembled transit and airport statistics to evaluate a potential light rail connecting several airports and major
transit hubs
 Experienced in conducting peak-hour intersection counts, tube counts on roadway segments, license plate
surveys, hardware inventories, and other fieldwork

GRAPHIC DESIGN- Produce graphics in many formats from initial concept to completion. Drafting expertise with
AutoCAD. Proficient with CorelDraw and Adobe software including Illustrator, Photoshop, and Acrobat.
 Assisted with design and drafting of engineering projects and attended trainings on the Manual of Uniform
Traffic Control Devices
 Signal timing plans for the synchronization of traffic signals along a main travel corridor
 Traffic control and detour plans for the staged construction of several grade-separated railroad crossings
 Designed graphics for planning studies which included a minimum of 10 illustrations
 Linked outputs from modeling programs to illustrations of traffic volumes to automate data entry
 Created PowerPoint presentations with embedded graphics, video clips, sound clips, tables, and graphs
