End-of-Year Reflections: Jennifer Birch, T Raja Chidambaram, and Jodie Rudd

As we wrap up this year, we invited colleagues around the world to reflect on and share their achievements, challenges, and goals.

Jennifer

Jennifer Birch, Service Desk Analyst II

An important lesson I learned this year is that working remotely requires resilience and intentional communication!

I appreciate my network because it provides support to grow and adapt while working remotely. My role in the Service Desk gives me a unique opportunity to connect with most branches and departments, and our Women’s Employee Resource Group (ERG) utilizes a virtual platform to reinforce the value of community and open dialogue. These relationships have helped me connect to the L&P community and do my job even better.

T Raja Chidambaram, Assistant Manager

This year, I began working with a global team on machine building and improvement projects. We plan to manufacture machines for our global plant, and my goal is to install five machines worldwide next year.

This coming year, I aim to advance to the next level in my career and visit the United States for the first time!

A lesson I want to share is that success takes time, but with hard work and patience, we’ll always succeed!

Jodie Rudd, Project Group Manager

In 2024, I learned to lean into hard challenges and am encouraging others to do the same.

It’s hard to “grow” if we’re not challenging ourselves.
