Profile

Brittany Lawrence
IT Professional with Economics and Finance Background
Information Technology and Services | Indianapolis, Indiana Area, US

Summary

Within 5 years of graduating with a BS of Science in Economics, I've worked in the realms of manufacturing, engineering, procurement, quality control & IT support. This wide range of experience gives me the confidence that no matter what the job may be, I can and will succeed. I've proven that I can learn quickly and on the job, and I am easily managed. While my career path may not be conventional or strictly laid out, I enjoy taking on new challenges and exploring different fields. Although I pursued my passion, economics, as my chosen major in college, I've always been open to applying those skills obtained in my studies to careers not traditionally associated with business and finance.
Specialties: Purchasing and procurement, project management, procedure composition and documentation
