Courtney Mathena, ERP Project Lead
Q: Tell us a little about yourself.
I graduated from the University of Maryland, College Park with undergraduate degrees in linguistics and Spanish, and then I continued my education at the University of Kansas to earn my master’s degree in higher education administration. After doing a lot of large-scale program organization and creation at universities, I started to step into more clearly labeled project management positions, eventually bringing me to Fuchs.
I love these kinds of opportunities because I get to learn about what people do, where they want to go next, and what we can improve along the way— all while organizing and getting to know people. Outside of puzzling together various projects, I also love playing video games, reading, and spending time with my family! I have two cats, Bruce and Hank, and a dog, Kermit; they are all very snuggly.
Q: What is your favorite part of your role here at Fuchs so far?
So far, I love working on a project that everyone is excited about and that will make everyone’s day that much smoother. It’s even better that everyone is so kind and welcoming, even when I ask them a million questions about what buttons they click on their computers.
Q: What are you most looking forward to about your role?
I’m most looking forward to collaborating with everyone to make a clear and documented way of using our new ERP system!
Q: What’s your favorite food?
It depends, but if I’m snacking, something salty! However, cinnamon rolls are a perfect dessert.
Q: Anything else you’d like our customers/fellow employees to know about you?
It’s exciting to work so closely with so many experts here at Fuchs, so please stop by with any ideas or questions about the ERP project, or just to chat!
