Tell us a bit about yourself and your RHIM journey so far.

I am originally from Bogota, Colombia, where I got interested in how the economy works, reason why I got my Bachelor of Science in economics. Short after I worked in a production company, in the controlling area, and as a data analyst. Those experiences made me realize I wanted a new challenge, reason why I decided to move to the USA to pursue a Master of Science in Accounting and Financial forensics and gain more experience in the production - corporate finance.

My RHIM journey has been a hands-on experience, combining training and with real-world experience. Where I have been assigned meaningful tasks and projects that helped to improve different financial process. On top of that I have been able to work with different teams, which has helped to gain a holistic understanding of the company. It has also been challenging, but without a doubt rewarding!

What kind of projects have you worked on?

I have worked in projects focused on improving current process of FP&A and developing tools to show the financial impact in an easier way to the leadership team at the plant.  The first project I was assigned was the creation of a “target cost calculator” on Power BI, with the goal of bringing FP&A closer to the operations, by improving the accuracy in our forecast. And Lately I have been working, with the FP&A team, on an automated report to get a more granular and detailed information regarding the cost of goods sold by material product groups (MPG).

What has been a highlight of your experience with RHIM so far?

How supportive the people are at the company, culturally they are very open to helping.

What do you appreciate most about RHIM’s culture?

When projects and tasks have been assigned to me, I got the independence and the challenge of doing it by myself. I am being able to gain real experience by working with different teams, performing meaningful tasks, and managing my own projects knowing that I will always be supported by my coworkers. Collaborations are something I really appreciate about the RHIM’s culture.

What advice would you give to future trainees?

Use the length of the program to ask a lot of questions! Even if you must do it twice or more! Also try to get involved in other departments, if you are interested in wat they do. Play your trainee card and tell them you want to learn what they do! The answer will always be yes!
