My name is Lori McGurty, and I'm the Director of Implementations at Kepro, working remotely from Chesapeake, Virginia.
As an early riser, I generally like to start my day with a nice walk or a trip to the gym. After getting the blood flowing and fueled by caffeine, it's upstairs to my home office, where I dive into emails, meetings and preparing project updates. I'm often called upon to fill in gaps wherever needed. As a result, my days are often not as anticipated. My day starts as a project manager; however, by day's end, I have been a business analyst, an operations leader, a proposal writer, a trainer and a counselor lending a sympathetic ear for someone who's had a rough day.
I have the unique opportunity to get to know people from all departments and various contracts all over the country. In addition, getting to work with brilliant team members who go above and beyond is endlessly inspiring.
Kepro gives me autonomy and tools to find efficient and workable solutions when supporting a new implementation/account. With Office 365 and other software, I can build an automation, create engaging and interactive dashboards and reduce manual effort in status reporting. I love learning new technology and acquiring new skills to better support operations.
The implementation phase of a project is essential to the success of its ongoing operations. By learning what works best on previous projects, I can incorporate standardization efforts and best practices across the company during the implementation phase. When utilized by operations, these best practices offer our clients and beneficiaries the quality services they seek and expect from Kepro.
Outside of work, I have a terrible case of wanderlust for traveling the world! On one of my favorite trips, I sailed across the Sea of Galilee, got kissed by a camel in Jericho, climbed inside the Great Pyramid of Giza, floated in the Dead Sea, and witnessed the ingenious water system of the Nabataeans in Petra.
