Purnima Chandrasekar

After moving to Australia in 2018, Purnima Chandrasekar had some time off to welcome her daughter and was out of the workforce for 3 years.

She has a Masters degree from India’s Anna University, majoring in Electronics and Communication Engineering. She graduated in 2014.

After university Purnima worked for technology company, BICS Global, as a Business Analyst in Chennai, India. 

While there she worked on Salesforce implementations and data migration for a solar company start-up. She cleaned up over 25,000 records in Excel, in preparation for uploading them as leads in the new organisation. She also set up all duplicate management rules, supported 15 users, and worked on two Salesforce integrations.

When she joined Blaze Your Trail in October 2021, she had the goal of becoming a Salesforce Business Analyst or Consultant.

Purnima shares two interests with Jessica - they both love to crochet and grow indoor plants. Most of the time she is busy looking after a busy pre-schooler. 

In November 2021, Purnima was offered a job at Service Victoria as a Salesforce Business Analyst. 

She said “Blaze Your Trail gave me the necessary work experience and interactions to increase my confidence. I am very happy to get a job where I can use my Salesforce skills. Anyone who is aspiring to become a Salesforce professional can definitely benefit from the opportunities and encouragement at Blaze Your Trail. I will continue to give back to the community by collaborating with Jessica and the team”.
