Business Development Analyst Elizabeth Baldwin believes that technology can and should be manipulated to solve unique business problems. So when she recognized that she could automate dashboards within business development tool Salesforce, which helps track of PAE's opportunities, she took it in stride.

"I really enjoy solving those problems and making it easier for everyone," Baldwin said. "No one needs to do extra work when technology is there to make administrative tasks easier. This allows us to be more efficient with our time."
