1. What am I good at?<\/strong>
I\u2019m good at leading others and staying calm in stressful situations. I\u2019ve learned how to motivate a team, especially when people are tired or frustrated, and I try to lead by example. Because I find that I am most effectivley led this way. I\u2019m also good at organizing tasks and making sure things get done efficiently. Communication has become one of my strengths, especially when it comes to balancing honesty and empathy. And I have gotten good at having difficult conversations when they need to be had. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. What do I value?<\/strong>
I value hard work, loyalty, and growth. I care about staying true to my word and showing up for the people around me, whether it\u2019s coworkers, friends, or family. I also value making a positive impact, even if it’s in small ways, and I really believe in pushing myself to get better over time. I think that putting in any amount of effort is worth it if it makes someones day better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. How did I get here?<\/strong>
I got here by taking on leadership roles that challenged me and taught me what kind of worker and person I want to be. School, internships, and my past jobs helped me develop discipline and confidence. I\u2019ve made mistakes along the way, but I always try to learn from them. Having mentors and supportive people in my life has also played a huge role. I have tried to use my mentors and influential people in my life to gain knowledge from, and to not make the same mistakes they made when they were in my shoes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Where am I going?<\/strong>
I\u2019m going toward a future where I take on more responsibility and hopefully help lead at a higher level. In the short term, I want to grow in my first full-time role and make a name for myself as someone reliable and driven. Long-term, I want to end up in a position where I can help shape teams and culture, not just follow what\u2019s already in place. I think being in a position that can impact a wide variety of people would be really special. I\u2019m still figuring out the exact path, but I know I want to keep growing and pushing myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
