Current Job Title: TEC, Team Lead | Previous Job Title: TEC, Service Desk Engineer I | Tenure at Dataprise: 2.5 years

How are the responsibilities of your new role helping you grow professionally?
The responsibilities of my new role help me to learn how to not only to analyze data and make business-driven decisions, but they also are giving me the opportunity to manage a variety of personalities and how to cohesively bring them to work together as a team. I have grown a lot professionally in last six months since becoming Team Lead, better learning the operation and how to respectfully drive change.

Were there any specific learning and development opportunities you pursued at Dataprise that helped you get to your current role?
I attribute a lot of my success with Dataprise to the opportunities that have been afforded to me. Such examples include taking a leadership role as Subject Matter Expert for several large clients, LinkedIn Learning, and most notably the HiPo Leadership Program where I had the ability to learn more about Dataprise and its acquisitions, such as Wireless Watchdogs and RevelSec.

What advice would you give someone who is interested in rising at Dataprise?
Take the initiative, within reason. Take advantage of the learning opportunities that are already available through Dataprise in the quarterly LinkedIn Learning trainings and go beyond that. If there’s an area you struggle with, ask for more of that type of work. Ask questions and don’t wait for an opportunity to present itself, go find it.

Previous Position: Network Consultant | New Position Since Rejoining Dataprise: Supervisor, Network Operations Center

What made you decide to return to Dataprise?
I originally left the Dataprise NOC to pursue a management role at a smaller MSP. This never came to fruition, and I was not happy with the type of work I was saddled with. I kept in touch with a couple people from Dataprise and decided to reach out and the stars aligned. I was able to rejoin the NOC team in a leadership role that better fits my career path!

What are you enjoying most since you’ve returned?
I enjoy the new responsibilities that come with the supervisory role, along with being able to affect change and help the team grow. It is also good to reconnect with past coworkers and learn about new team members.

What do you think sets Dataprise apart from other companies you have worked for?
I believe Dataprise has a good set of core values and actually sticks to them. Beyond that, the people make the job enjoyable.

Is there any advice you would give others who may be thinking about rejoining a previous employer?
Obviously do not burn bridges on your way out, you never know if you will be in a position to return. Also be sure returning to a previous employer is in your best interests since you previously left of your own volitions.

Today, we continue with the PRIDE celebrations and learn from one of our ERG members about a charitable organization who is doing some incredible work in the Pittsburgh, PA area!

I’ve chosen The Persad Center in Pittsburgh, PA as our charity of choice because of the essential health services they provide to the LGBT+ community. They offer counseling, substance abuse treatment, drug and alcohol intensive outpatient programs, a food pantry, as well as senior and transgender programs specifically for the LGBT+ community, and in the 1980’s expanded their mission to service those infected and affected by HIV/AIDS. The Persad Center has a large presence in the Western PA LGBT+ community and supporting them makes a real difference and impact for LGBTQ+ individuals.
