What do you like about your job and the company?
I've always preferred to be in a supportive role, rather than front of the house. In drama, I was the stage manager. In sailing, I was the crew. In soccer, I was the defense. At work, I love enabling those around me to do what they do best. I aim to support our critical staff and remove obstacles so they can solve issues and delight our clients. Likewise with our clients, I act as their advocate to ensure they are getting the most out of our firm's solutions and services. It feels good to help fix a problem or make a client happy!
Greatest achievements
I've achieved a lot in my 16 years with Linedata and am happy to have more than a few successes to brag about - be it establishing our now critical Project Management team, or renovating our 16,000 sf office while navigating the pandemic, or successfully upgrading the majority of our clients to our newest technology... but, I think my greatest achievement is being able to work at a company where I enjoy my job, my coworkers, and the satisfaction I get on a day to day basis, so much so, that I have chosen to stay with my company for over 16 years. I'm proud of the work I do, and perhaps more importantly, the people I get to work with! When you work hard for something you don't care about, it is called stress. When you work hard for something you love, it's called passion.

I once read that if someone offers you a new opportunity, take it and you will learn how to do it later. I am telling you this to advise you not to be afraid of new challenges. As a perfectionist, I am often worried of not being up to expectations; but that should not stop me (or you, dear reader) from taking on new challenges. Believe in yourself, ask for help, learn new skills, and do not believe that imposter syndrome. This is how you grow and advance in your career.

In support, I constantly encounter new topics, both functional and technical. It is important to keep an open mind and address all types of subjects, including those with which I am not familiar. One needs to be curious and able to work on new functional and technical issues. Conducting research in our knowledge database, consulting documentation, or asking colleagues for help are essential steps to solving any issue. The product we work on has many features, and there is always something new to learn.

Anyone who works hard and invests a lot in his work will be rewarded. Rigour and perseverance are, in my opinion, two key values to evolve within any organization. At Linedata, I was given a chance, I was trusted. Colleagues support helped me to improve myself and to lead our project to success.
