Will Burnett
@willburnett
I coordinate high-volume public-service operations, process changes, documentation, and cross-team workflows.
What I'm looking for
At the State of Tennessee, I manage 250–300 active SNAP/TANF cases, balancing applications, renewals, documentation, deadlines, and follow-up in a regulated public-service environment. I translate changing policy requirements into accurate daily workflows and maintained service continuity through a major 2023 eligibility-system implementation and statewide backlog.
I'm also an independent historical researcher at Hidden Hickory Research, owning projects from research questions through analysis, documentation, client communication, and written findings. Across remote operations, customer service, and sales coordination, I turn complex information into clear guidance, identify workflow barriers, and support consistent processes.
