Kohler Stewardship Project Management Contractor
As a Project Management Contractor for the Kohler Stewardship team in 2018, I supported the implementation of a Kohler Co. emergency shower project plan between Kohler Stewardship and Operation Blessing. Operation Blessing, one of Kohler's strategic partners, provides relief in 39 countries on an ongoing basis through core programs such as disaster relief, health and medical care, hunger relief, and access to safe water.
The primary objective of the Kohler Relief Fleet is to provide clean showering experiences for volunteers in disaster relief areas. Kohler's Innovation for Good team, in partnership with Kohler Stewardship, launched its first Relief Fleet vehicle, a shower trailer, in summer 2018. The showering trailer and eventually the Relief Fleet, will become a centerpiece of Kohler Co. Disaster relief operations in North America.
The trailer was built by Kohler engineers and included product to be used to assist communities affected by natural disasters. In order to train those who worked the trailer for special events, I developed job descriptions and set up instructions for 50+ Kohler associates. I also facilitated 3 volunteer trainings with 100+ associates who would work the trailer for a 5k and a Road America event.

Believing In Better
Whiteboard Idea: Tell Us What You Believe. At Kohler, we've embarked on a journey of Believing In Better. What does that mean? It means we believe in taking positive steps-big and small-toward a better future. So whether you believe in recycling everything you can or that replacing your bulbs with LEDs is a great start, we invite you to take this journey with us.
I designed this campaign to encourage associates to interact with different teams within the Communications building. After seeing whiteboard pictures trending on Buzzfeed, I decided to gather enough people to experiment with the process.
Ultimately, I took over 150+ associates pictures and my content was displayed at various trade shows, Greenbuild - an environmental conference, and presented internally around campus and globally in various offices.
