Work History

Team Lead and Trainer

Medtronic
01.2024 - Current
  • In January of this year I was offered an assignment by Medtronic in the United States to help with the Affera project.
  • This was a big honour for me as it highlighted the work that I had put in for the previous months in progressing the project and delivering the product safely to our patients.
  • This assignment has come with increased responsibilities as I am now a trainer at the company's new facility in BIllerica.
  • As a trainer I am in charge of both the safety and progression of those I teach.
  • We follow training plans and keep our students on track to graduate within the timeframe necessary.
  • I regularly utilize a variety of instructional design methodologies to create effective learning experiences.
  • I keep training logs and notes on timeframes and best training practices to help other trainers implement the most effective techniques possible.

  • In June 2023 I was one of the few people selected to relocate to Boston in order to get Medtronic's new Boston site off the ground.
  • Medtronic purchased Affera in 2022 primarily due to their groundbreaking new Sphere 9 Catheter and I was chosen to be a team lead on the project.
  • In my six months on the project, we have overseen significant expansion in terms of both manpower and yield.
  • I have been trained on multiple worksteps on the final assembly line and have carried out a range of duties in my short time in the US.

  • I work closely with engineers, management and quality on a daily basis to improve the product.
  • While in Boston we have been proudly representing Medtronic the entire time without any hiccups.
  • An international transfer comes with a host of other duties. This includes the responsibility of a corporate card. I have been trusted to use this for the past six months, adhering to company policy and submitting expense reports in a timely manner.
  • In relocating, I have successfully managed to secure accommodation, transport and multiple flights to and from the states.
  • I have successfully secured three separate visas or visa waivers from the US Government. The most recent visa allows me to work in the United States for two years and required a meeting at the US Embassy in Dublin, as well as a huge amount of documentation and forms to be submitted.
