Ever since being forced into the remote realm in March of 2020, I have flourished in my virtual position. Though I was originally a little lost on how to interact with our end users—we were a healthcare system inundated with COVID+ patients—we quickly realized how to help.

All predictive analytics and model work stopped. I began to utilize my skills in Microsoft PowerPoint to make infographics on where we stood with COVID; we began a glossary of terms and definitions, since the many asks were for particular sets of data related to COVID. All things became about COVID.

With the decision to stay remote in early 2021, my job responsibilities necessitated change. I was no longer able to go to a co-worker’s desk for a “quick chat”. Microsoft Teams became the main point of contact and professional group chats were the norm.

My workload has developed into being responsible for:

• Hosting the weekly SCRUM meetings, where we utilize Planview’s ProjectPlace

• Keeping track of to-do’s for the team and general task inquiries/management

• Providing bi-weekly status reports and executive summaries to the team and end users

I realized that my skills could be used for others’ needs, on a freelance basis.
