Projects

Packaging and label archiving via 2 databases and in-store display research:

• MAM Archiving Database
• Printed Sample Organization
• Gladson Image Database

• Allows Nestlē Waters employees to get a chronological look at

packaging

• Nestlē Waters started using MAM in 2012
• MAM is used as a reference library by marketing, legal, production, and

quality groups in factories

• I added missing content to the products allowing for an easier search

MAM Archiving Database

...Or in other words…

Printed Sample Organization

• The largest database of

consumer packaged goods product information

• Nestlē Waters primarily

uses Gladson for Plan-o- grams

• Plan-o-grams show where

to place specific product on shelves to increase sales

• I revised the products in

Gladson were and identified if they were current, discontinued or needed an image update Gladson Image Database

Project Hole in the Wall

• Very welcoming
• All of the activities there

are accessible to all the campers

• For example, the

pool is heated to 90 degrees for campers that have sickle cell

• Made me feel good that

Nestlē Waters supports a camp like this.

• Good opportunity to give

back to the community

playground, surrounding area, and weeding

• I hope our efforts will

encourage Stamford residents to use this beautiful park
