I started my career in business development at the Global Association of Risk Professionals. I actually got that job by accident because I graduated with a finance degree in 2009, when the financial crisis was in full swing and people weren't really hiring, especially banks. There was a hiring freeze, so I started going out and networking and I ended up at this Global Association of Risk Professionals event where I met a Managing Director and we just have started talking, and I basically let him know that I was actively searching for a job, and the next day he something email asking me for my resume. I came in for an interview a few days after that and was hired as a business development associate, that entailed me going out, to Chief Risk Officers and heads of risk management and training at different banks to talk to them about how they can use GARP, which is the global association risk professionals training in in their institutions. I met the Chief Risk officer of bank leumi, who actually told me a few weeks after that that he was looking to hire somebody as a risk analyst reporting directly to him. I obviously went in and went for the interview. I did not think I would get it. It required about seven years of experience, which I did not have a point at that time. But I took a chance. And about a year into that role, I was contacted by the Lloyd to come in for an interview in their advisory consulting practice. Again, I did not think I would get that position. I only had about two years of total work experience if we're not counting internships or the the side jobs that I held throughout school. But I decided to go in for the interview and they ended up getting that jobs. That's kind of what led me here. I've been with the Lloyd for about seven and a half years now.

Responsibilities and decisions that I handle at work now at Deloitte involve working with a lot of data. So we work with data in terms of our expenses, hours that are charged by individuals. We look at all the reports around revenue and wins, the pipeline, and they basically gather executive dashboard using Tableau to put them together and in front of executives that help them make their decisions. The working hours for me now are, it's a pretty much nine to five where prior to this role, when I was in client service, I think they worked around the clock. I basically worked nights, weekends and traveled. But then I had kids, and I decided that, you know, I didn't want to miss their especially their young years. So i decided to take on this internal role that allows me to work from home and work nine to five.

So I used Tableau software pretty heavily at work, and I do prefer it over other tools because it provides me with the flexibility to do whatever I need to do so I am able to match together different data sources into one. It speeds up the time, for example, instead of using excel to do v-look up, I can quickly do that in tableau, the data doesn't blow forever and crash, so that's another added benefit. But it also allows me the flexibility to create the technical dashboards and the look and feel that I want and be able to customize it for for the executives and then have the ability to drill down and filter on specific things for different members of the executive team or the teams that support them. So it's been really good for me.
