Her Story
About Amanda
I recently graduated from my Master's in Public Administration program and started working full-time with CGI Federal in January of this year after interning for the past two summers. My main area is consulting where I handle help desk support for clients having software issues, performing research and analysis to troubleshoot or escalate to technical teams. A notable achievement was leading as project manager on my capstone project building a repository for our Marine Corps client, guiding the cross-functional team to completion.
Her Interview
Ten minutes with Amanda
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to the resilience I built in college. You need a lot of resilience to climb the ladder of life because life happens and can easily derail you from your path.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best career advice is to say yes. Even if you're scared, nervous, or don't think you have the skill, just say yes because 9 times out of 10 the person asking believes in you. Do it scared.
