I went back to school to get my Master’s, after a 15 hiatus.

I got a promotion after two retirements in our department. I work for a company where most people stay for decades (at least in our section), so it is hard to get a promotion. My team of 10 people has almost 300 years of combined service and have all been there at least 10 years longer than I have - many have 20 or more years over me. They are experts in our software and our domain. I bring my leadership skills and ability to work at various levels of management and they continue to excel at what they love.

My main goal last year was to find a new position. I did, but never was able to take an active role as that position because I was finding and training my replacement. Then, I got recruited for a new position at a different company. That was the best thing to happen last year career-wise. Now my goal is to become an expert at my new role and add as much value as I can to the company while I'm learning how everything works there.

I got back into the counseling field (have struggled to transfer my license from one state to another). I hope to really embrace doing what I love doing and really be great!

I am more experienced in vendor management from start to end and got involved into systematic learning on PMP.
It is time to apply what I learned in 2022!

Checked off employment at an agency that was on my professional bingo card. Next step is to continue to learn the job and make a difference for stakeholders.
