Rachel Ramsey -- Project Manager

           My name is Rachel Ramsey and I am a junior Finance major at Kennesaw State University.  This is my first year at KSU.  I transferred from Georgia Southern University in the fall of 2006.  I am planning to graduate in the summer of 2008.  After graduation, I plan to pursue a career in corporate real estate. After gaining experience in the corporate world, I hope to go back to school and earn my masters degree in Finance. I plan to use my masters degree to teach at the University level while I work on my doctorate. After receiving my doctorate, I plan to continue to teach.

            I am originally from Lawrenceville, Ga and moved to Statesboro, Ga immediately after graduating from high school.  I lived there for five years before moving to Canton, Ga in the summer of 2006.  I moved to Canton with my husband of ten months, Brad.  Brad is a mechanical engineer I met while attending Georgia Southern University.  Together, we have two dogs; Caesar, a Chihuahua, and Natty, an American Bulldog.

            My role on the team is project manager.  The project manager’s job involves many different aspects of the project.  They are responsible for creating the Operating Agreement, for being the main communicator in the group, and for helping with all parts of the project.  The project manager takes the lead role on the discussion board and keeps the group current on due dates and other important information.  One of the most important jobs for the project manager is to be the coordinator for the group.  This includes managing due dates, meeting times, project progress, and the finished project.  The project manager is ultimately responsible for the project being completed well and by the due date.
