I’ll never settle. Continuous improvement drives me. Watching a well-oiled machine come together fills me with joy.If there’s one thing I enjoy, it’s learning; Learning about what the future may hold, learning about the market, learning about how a division handles the same data in a completely different manner, or learning about my team members. There’s always a wealth of knowledge to be absorbed and a different perspective to see things from. It’s fitting these pieces together to get the best possible outcome.Having a varied background of work experience from working entry level retail and restaurant jobs to being an independent contractor to being a dean of a school has built a well-rounded foundation for me to excel in my post-degree career. > A customer-centric focus - if the customer’s not happy, it’s not truly successful> Patience and understanding to hear every voice> A research-backed approach to problem solving> Training to find the root cause of a problem, not just a place to put a bandageI also keep a strong work-life balance. Outside of work I am usually at the gym, playing volleyball, training for a duathlon (my most recent commitment), hiking up a mountain, or floating down a river on a kayak. Coming from California, the Midwest certainly does make you appreciate the warmer months!
