        \n
      1. During my time at Five Below, I was tasked with creating a virtual view of all functions acted out by each division\/department. In addition to this, I was tasked to code tools that aided in visibility and data submission.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
      2. Examples of projects (e.g., list the projects you worked on and what you accomplished)\n
          \n
        1. I had a single, large project documenting all division functions and a timeline of when these functions occurred.<\/li>\n
