What is your position at Silverline and what do you do?
I’m an Associate Business Analyst for the Navigator team. I graduated from the Silverline Academy in August, and I’m now transitioning into working with clients full time.
What does your average day look like?
I start my morning studying for the Salesforce Admin exam, I then look at my emails and to-do list for the day. After that, I start any client work and then move on to internal work.
How did you find out about Silverline and your current position?
I participated in Pep-up Tech, people empowering people through technology, and graduated from their program. I went to a Pep-up Tech/Silverline mixer and connected with people from Silverline. A few weeks later I got a call from Pep-Up Tech that Silverline was hiring for the academy and applied immediately.

All the free food in the kitchen and Bagel Fridays. Also, the option to work remotely is such a huge help in my life.
What is your favorite memory?
The day I came in for my interview I was so nervous. I couldn’t find the building and was stressing out. My future coworker, Kori, helped me get settled in even though she was attending the in-office yoga class. She was in her yoga outfit with no shoes on and it made me feel so much more comfortable.

To help build the Navigator team. It’s still an emerging offering, and there are a lot of opportunities to grow.
