"At the start of my military career, I served as a physical rehabilitation program lead by request because I wanted to be involved in the clinical side of operations and invest my time into patient care. Taking an interpersonal approach within my roles distinguishes me as a leader and I enjoyed working cross-functionally between departments to streamline processes."- Margaret Bellinder, Summer 2023 Academy?
This month we're proud to feature fellow Margaret Bellinder, BS, MS .
Margaret was a part of our Summer 2023 Academy where her goal was to find a job as a biomedical engineer because of her passion for medical device design and development.
She is now a Design Transfer Project Manager at GE医疗
3 Ways MTV Academy helped Margaret prepare for her #militarytransition:
?? Knowledgable mentor who guided me in rewriting my resume to succeed in my job search.
?? Expanded my network in the medical device industry
??? Emotional support kept me going when the job search was difficult
What attracted Margaret to her current role at GE Healthcare?
?"I took this role because the job relies on project management and organization skills which were easily translated from my role as a platoon leader and it is close enough to engineering that I can develop skills in this area. The company is excellent and the professional development opportunities are abundant."
