What inspired you to become a project manager?
I sort of stumbled into my first role as a PM, but I quickly realized I was a natural and was meant to do it. Since I was young, I’ve always been very organized and enjoyed using a planner, making checklists, or making spreadsheets … I love creating a plan and making it come to fruition.
What is your approach to providing great customer service?
Authenticity, integrity and empathy. I am a strong believer in being who you are and doing what you say you’ll do. I’ve found that those characteristics resonate positively with people and can quickly earn trust and respect. Understanding what someone is feeling so you can connect and understand them is also key.
