So I graduated from Dartmouth College two years ago with a degree in history, um, and ended up entering a completely unrelated field and working for the United Health Group, a zoo. A consultant focused on the payer sides of the health insurance side. And I had two different kinds of engagements there. I was either project manager. So you're, you know, working to ensure that the timeline of the project is met and you're coordinating with all the different elements. The technical resource of the operations resource is the business resource is, and you're just kind of making sure that everything gets done on time. No, in scope and under budget. Um, and I also worked as a business analyst, which will be process improvement or creating crossed about call centre for the Department of Veterans Affairs for scheduling appointments for a while, which is a lot more interesting than it sounds. And, yeah, and and did some system integration work as well. I recently left UnitedHealth Group, and I've been working on a workforce development program for unemployed servers and bartenders who have been impacted by the Kobe 19 pandemic. So that's that's my focus right now, though. Gonna enter, um, the consulting space or health care the tree again, most likely in the near future,

So it's It's very way had a joke it at United that the answer was always It depends, Um, and when you're a consultant, that's that's often true. Every project kind of takes on a different nature. I had some some, uh, fellow colleagues that travel up to 80% of the time. I personally travel 80 once or twice a month during my travel engagements that I had other engagements, right and travel. It also usually was partial travel for me, which I like. Personally, I think that's the best balance. It is really useful toe have some interaction with your clients if their for their in another city big that with consulting. I mean, everything's gonna change even after this pandemic is over. People have realized that virtual collaboration is easier than they thought. It was a lot of traditional people that are now embracing this work from home environment. So I think it's hard t say how that's gonna look in the future in terms of daily weekly responsibilities again, completely, just different for for every project. That very meeting heavy company, um, was one of my gripes with the company. Actually, I would say I think a lot of more traditional people think that you need a meeting for everything. Nowadays, people are starting to realize that. You know, if you are including the wrong people in those meetings, that it ends up being a huge drain on productivity. So for me, it was a lot of facilitating meetings, a lot of meeting with clients. A lot of meeting with my team members, having working sessions, working directly with people toe create content to create presentations, meeting executives to update them on status and progress. Um, and then, you know, sometimes I would have had down working sessions tryingto figure out how I would shape a new processor solved. That problem was coming so very collaborative role for P. I know I had colleagues that were kind of head down, working in sequel or tableaux for 40 hours a week, so that's very different. I was a little bit more climbed, facing a little bit more interactive, but yeah, the answer is definitely a defense

had some colleagues that were really kind of technical or data analytics. Resource is the largest equal. They used a lot of tableau and some some of the analytics working be done just using Excel In healthcare, you usually work very big data sets, sometimes using different software. People would also use our access. Um, all these types of database technologies as well, um, I'm mostly played around in excel in busy. Oh, it's been a long time in physio. Um, and project project is kind of the traditional project manager resource to tell you track here, track all of your outstanding activities and work. You can do that in Excel, too. But project is kind of the standard and also excel busy. Oh, is kind of process mapping software. That's something that you probably not gonna be familiar with and most other industries. I t implementation issues a lot. Anywhere that you can. You can do that kind of work in power point as well. But when you're building out more complex diagrams, you need functionality physio to make it work.
