Career Highlights

  • Zoetis, Lincoln, Nebraska, 03/27/2023, Digital Data and Systems Analysist, I have achieved the four standard objectives for this position, including the need to provide digital data analytics solutions based on local site needs, work with the global ZTD Digital Data Analytics team to align development strategies, cooperate with the groups to determine the suitability of solutions within the current application portfolio, and then identify and define the scope for continuous improvement and cost-saving activities. My experience building custom Power BI datasets based on SAP reports for Lincoln has led me to share those datasets with Charles City, Kalamazoo, and Chicago Heights. In addition, I went beyond the objectives and discussed Power BI issues, dataset issues, and disputable questions related to Power BI. This approach shows my readiness for responsible and creative work. During the biweekly meetings with the OpEx teams, we discussed their data needs, the principles of using Power BI, and various significant issues of using this software. My professional partnerships with other specialists helped create new datasets that fit all their needs and made further deep business collaborations more possible. I have collaborated with Christie Blair and Barb Cornell on their EHS dataset and am working with Lincoln's EHS team to develop their EHS reports and dashboards in Power BI.
