My career is just getting started, and right now it’s a lot of learning as I go (sink or swim). I started working full-time as a supply chain data analyst at Tree Top in mid December while trying to finish out my master’s in data science. Most of my days are spent learning the realities of corporate systems that aren’t always clean, modern, or well documented and then coming home and doing homework (literally). At work, I’ve mostly become the person people come to when they need dashboards built or data connections fixed or adjusted. Because of this, I spend a lot of time in Infor Birst and SQL, but I’ve also been able to work on more interesting projects like sales forecasting and order allocation in Python. Some parts of the job are engaging, others are tedious, and figuring out which is which has been part of the process. All in all, I’m still finding my footing, learning how organizations actually run, and trying to grow while juggling school and work at the same time. It hasn’t always been easy, but I like the people I work with, and for now, that makes the effort feel worth it.
