The daily variety is the best part about my work. There are nuances to everything we do—no two questions, states, programs, or projects are the same. I learn something new from every assignment.

My supervisor always reminds me to take care of my physical and mental health and to make sure to “disconnect” occasionally to avoid becoming burned out or overwhelmed.
Mackenzie BeatriceResearch Associate II
By me working from home, I am able to be here for my son before and after school. The schedules are flexible enough to the point I don’t find myself saying, “there are not enough hours in a day” as I did with a typical 9-5 job.
Jennà WilliamsProgram Integrity, Subject Matter Expert
Working from home is a godsend. I have young kids, so it allows me to be more present in their life. No morning stress trying to get everyone up and out the door, and with the pandemic, it has allowed me to have the flexibility with child care and sick kids without fear and stress.

Andrew CapehartSenior Business Analyst, Subject Matter Expert
The COVID-19 pandemic forced our team to reassess our established processes and, with a short turnaround time, adapt them to a process that would work as effectively in a virtual environment as possible. Not only did we do this, we were able to do it in such a way that those who have experienced it first-hand have responded more positively than we could have imagined. Something to be proud of, indeed.
Alex PenningtonResearch Manager, Monitoring Liaison
COVID, COVID, COVID. Our team had to revise several action plans to focus on developing and providing resources to assist with managing programs during the pandemic. Moving to virtual activities was also something we had to think through… and we did it well!
Leslie McGeeSenior Research Associate, Subject Matter Expert
I recently experienced a challenge and received support and care from the management team in a way that I have never experienced in my 30 years as an early care professional. I am extremely thankful for the opportunity to work for a corporation that values diversity, equity, and respectful engagement for all employees.
Tasha Owens GreenTechnical Assistance Liaison
We often face sudden, short-term deadline-related work product requests that seem completely unsurmountable. The willingness of the entire team to volunteer their time above and beyond a typical day has gotten us through every time. This is only possible in an environment where everyone on the team has a passion for the work they do and the company and clients for whom they do it.
