Graduating from Georgia Institute of Technology in Master of Science in Analytics, Business Analytics, Alyssa joined Partners in Performance in 2018 as an Associate in North America. Read on for the highlights from Alyssa's experience at Partners in Performance...
I started my journey with Partners in Performance in September 2018, and wanted to share some highlights of the amazing experiences I’ve had so far. My very first week working with Partners in Performance involved evacuating my new home on the South Carolina coast due to a hurricane and flying out for my first engagement in Trinidad while still 500 miles from home – which was a brilliant way to start the adventure that would be my first year here!
Since joining Partners in Performance, I have had the opportunity to work in and learn about construction productivity, continuous improvement and strategy. I’ve also attended three development days, two Unleashing Potential (UP) days, two of our North America Female Initiative Group (abbreviated as FIG) events and one Summer Camp conference with the work team. I’ve learned more about mining and construction than I ever thought I would need to know and I’ve worked with people from all over the world.

I have had the opportunity to work with some pretty great people and see some amazing things, and here are just a few of the many things I’ve learned along the way:
To finish up this blog, here are just a few snapshots of some of the fantastic experiences I’ve had in my time with Partners in Performance:
Team fun in the game room after a long day on site in Saskatchewan
Just short drive outside of Saskatoon at midnight led to these views of the northern lights!
A team outing to a climbing gym to celebrate a week of hard work on site
Office views while working at the South Carolina coast
My final piece of advice is just to soak up every moment and never underestimate the power of asking for help of advice. There is no limit to what you can learn here, if you're curious and open to new experiences along the way. Thanks to all the folks who I’ve had the opportunity to learn from thus far, and I look forward to many more years with Partners in Performance!
