During my time at Tesla, I started off as a coordinator and analyst for the paint center, then moved to a role in Inside Sales. After a few months in Sales, I returned to Manufacturing Ops, earning my Project Management Professional Certification. In my role, I supported Manufacturing Engineering and Production teams on various projects that required cross-functional stakeholder involvement. I was primarily the liaison between Manufacturing and support teams such as Training, EHS, and HR. I supported the redesign of Castings (including process changes, automation of workflows, revamp of EHS policies and training on process, team re-org, and build of a new space), the implementation of a manufacturing execution system, and the launch of a new manufacturing line to support the production of Model S and Model X. During my time in Operations, I learned a lot about process design, optimizing workflows, and looking at systems and processes holistically to create efficiencies. My experiences at Tesla allowed me to see an organization from multiple angles. I began to notice how work could become more engaging for employees and drive better outcomes for the business. I was drawn to roles in HR and People & Culture because I wanted to help make work fun, fulfilling, and meaningful for people, while helping them grow personally and professionally. I eventually transferred to a role in HR at Tesla, and that's where my HR career began.
