What are the best aspects of your current job?

Every day I learn something new! Whether I am learning about a new GE business or learning about Oracle software, I am constantly learning.

What are the best parts about working at GE?

When I joined GE, I was looking for a technical career, not just a job. I wanted to join a top-notch company that would provide me the opportunity to expand my Oracle and database knowledge, as well as offer continuous learning and development. At GE, I've been able to achieve those goals through a variety of roles.

How did your background/previous work experience prepare you for your current role?

I worked at Oracle Corporation for five years and Deloitte & Touche for three years. The fast-paced environments at those two companies helped me adapt to the fast-paced environment at GE!

What is the most challenging project you've worked on at GE?

In 2006, on the Energy Services Parts project, the IM project team was under a tight timeline. We also faced many problems, including a large number of bugs in the purchased software. The team managed to close out all the issues before the software went live and deliver for the business. It was a lot of work, but one of the best projects on which I have participated.

What are the top technical skills that you take pride in possessing and/or still draw upon for your job?

Oracle e-Business Suite skills, which I use every single day. Not only do I take pride in these skills, but GE appreciates that I have these skills.

What is the best piece of career advice you can offer IT folks embarking on a technical career at GE?

Find a skillset that is in demand and something you love to do each and every day!
