I am a problem solver. I find where the problem exist, what is causing it, and how to alleviate it. Not all problems are massive workflow stopping issues, some may be simply a less a effective way of doing something. I've gravitated to this problem solving in my career and in my hobbies. I love the challenge of solving a difficult puzzle or developing an optimal strategy when playing games. This passion of mine has help drive my career in its current direction.After being recruited to help a very successful pharmacy, that had fallen down the wrong path, get back to its successful ways, I realized how much I do enjoy problem solving in my work as well as leisure. I found the interconnected issues that were making it difficult to provide the level of service. The problem wasn't that the store was too busy, it was the tools that streamline the work weren't being utilized and the prioritization of work was off. By fixing the inventory and utilizing the software to manage that inventory, fewer ordering problems occurred. Therefore fewer patients were upset about out of stocks and less time was spent solving patient complaints. This decreased the time pressure and stress the staff experience and in turn increased service levels. These kind of downstream problems that lead to far reaching improvements are what I love to find.In keeping with the problem solving mantra, I've now gravitated to studying data analysis in my free time. While still in the beginning stages of learning the coding languages associated with data analysis, I have thoroughly enjoyed the challenge of learning how use NumPy and SQL to alter my data and Pandas to analyze it. I'm looking forward to being able to use my healthcare background to work on mini-projects associated with health data. I'm also hoping this personal challenge and growth may lead to new career opportunities.
