BENCHMARKS & MILESTONES
• Working in a help desk environment and having the proper training helped me develop quickly, therefore in a short time getting promoted to the helpdesk lead position. While in this position, I was allowed to restructure the helpdesk process in Global Domains International. The restructuring of the process actually helped reduce the amount of time per call and allowed us to escalate complex issues to more experienced agents.
• While working at Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited, I took on the role of project manager of the electronic lab notebook project. With the careful planning and creative collaboration of the vendors and the IT department we had on time delivery of the hardware and software. The project from start to finish was scheduled for 20 weeks we completed and delivered less than 17 weeks.
• Redesigned the computer refresh process at Goodrich Aerostructures a fortune 500 company; now called UTC. While doing this the main purpose was to stay on schedule while leading 2 teams. The monthly deliverable was to have all equipment recovered and sanitized on time so it could be delivered to asset management and shipped back to Dell.
