I most recently acted as Program Manager at the Downtown Minneapolis TMO where I launched and administered a Customized Consultations program, planned and executed the annual Transportation Summit, managed a Commute Ambassador program, and performed outreach and relationship building activities with employers, agencies, and organizations.
