Solving challenges has always come naturally to Engineering Technician Dorinda Maddy. For her, finding solutions and new ways of doing things is a way to continuously learn and grow. As a member of the Raven team for the last six years, Dorinda has worked in a variety of roles that have given her opportunities to develop her passion for learning and simplifying procedures.
Dorinda left her career as a substitute teacher to join Raven’s Manufacturing Operations team as an assembler on the cable line. After a year, she transitioned to a role as an inventory handler, where she worked with a group of team members to simplify processes by changing the warehousing of products. The changes the group implemented are still in use today, and they ensure a smoother system for team members.
While on the inventory team, Dorinda learned new skills using Microsoft Excel and expanded her abilities with the application. She said it was a time of learning that allowed her to find new ways of organizing information to make it simple to understand, resulting in higher efficiency and less stress for the team, and the knowledge she gained is essential for the work she does today.
