Work Experience (4 years at Matriculation) :
Currently, 3 years in Tech Consulting (Big 4) - Government and Public Sector with all US clients (Departments of State Governments and Counties)

Switched roles to Quality Assurance Analyst on an Unemployment Insurance (UI) Modernization project with a client - Department of Labor of a State government. Work included owning and being responsible for high quality deliverables in 3 of the 10 modules in the system. Worked on this for close to a year, climbing up the ladder and owning more modules in the process.
When COVID hit, existing client system could not handle the load of new claims being filed.

Senior member on the team and in charge of 2 other members on the team and reporting directly to the lead. Responsible for the maintenance and operations of the new system. Worked on it for 9 months. New system paid out more than $2 billion dollars in PUA benefits, to more than 70K claimants. Solely responsible for setting up and testing a state of the art fraud detection process on the system that helped save $5 billion in fraudulent payments. Got promoted to a consultant for the impact created on PUA.
Now responsible for mentoring new onboarded resources and bringing them up to speed. Leading 6 out of the 10 modules in the system (started with 3 and did not lead them).
Aside from the client impact, responsible for pricing and estimation on new projects (aid to managers in the process) that come into the firm and have since worked on acquiring/process of acquiring 4 $50+ million projects.
Campus ambassador for my undergrad campus at my firm. Directly responsible for setting up logistics and other necessary components of the hiring process. First point of contact for all new hires. Been in this role for 2 years have helped my firm hire more than 100 new hires in that time.

Short Term Goals : Pivot into strategy consulting for a big 4 firm, preferably the same firm i work with right now.
Long term goals : one of two
1) Exit consulting firm to join a giant in the industry I settle in the consulting firm.
2) Become a partner at the consulting firm.
Target Schools : Tepper, Emory, UNC, Kelley, Marshall, Fuqua (Is there a chance? Have an application fee waiver)
Anymore schools that would be a good fit for me ?
