IT Associate Analyst At the start of my career, I had the opportunity to join Schering-Plough's leadership rotational program. This program gave me exposure to various departments within Information Technology such as Messaging, Collaboration, Workstation Engineering, Client Computing Services and Data Storage and Backup.

I designed and implemented architectural changes to the Dynatrace DCRUM monitoring solution and worked with application teams regularly showing how APM benefited the company.
