What are three career lessons you’ve learned in your professional life thus far?
It is ok to fail, as long as it doesn’t cost the company a lot of money. By failing you will learn and grow. Learn how to change the situation not the person. No matter how successful you become, remain humble.
What advice would you give to new hires?
Make sure you enjoy what you do, if you don’t you will be unhappy.

What are three career lessons you’ve learned in your professional life thus far?
Tradition does not usually allow for action. If you can’t learn anything more, you aren’t trying hard enough. Helping others and progressing the lives of everyone is why we have jobs in the first place so don’t forget that.
What advice would you give to new hires?
Be open to what others can teach you and be patient with yourself, as well.

What are three career lessons you’ve learned in your professional life thus far?
Perfect is the enemy of done. Don’t be afraid to make something that gets thrown away later. Sometimes we need to draft and experiment in order to learn. Welcome every person who comes through your door (calls your phone, writes you an email, etc.). Learn what is reasonable to expect of yourself and let that be enough.
What advice would you give to new hires?
Learn how we do things, then start thinking of how we could do it better.
