Phoenix Fragrances (now Sozio), Data Migration Assistant
June 2016 — July 2017, Part time
My main role was to assist in data migration between the company’s old system and the new IT system they’ll soon be implementing. To learn how to fulfill my role, I attended a SAP ERP implementation training session. I’ve spent most of my time creating report templates using Crystal Reports (a Visual Studio add-on); these are documents that pull data from a database and compile it into a report. To create more complex reports, I decided to teach myself basic SQL.
