What attracted you to your chosen work??
I love the challenges and problem solving opportunities that happen in IT. Many days can be extremely challenging, but even more are rewarding.

?

What skills did you develop early that are still useful today?
I have always been (or tried to be) very logical and data driven in my approach to problem solving. I think that is why I chose to pursue mathematics and statistics for my college education.??

?

Also, people love to laugh. I learned at a young age that a little bit of humor and levity goes a long way towards building relationships. So, I try to inject a little bit of humor with people throughout the day.

What's the biggest stretch opportunity you've taken on?
I have been very fortunate to have been given a number of stretch opportunities over the years. Some of them include the opportunities to lead the End User Services, IT Service Management, and Collaboration Services towers. At the time I considered all of these big stretch opportunities because I knew very little about the respective fields prior to leading them!

?

Luckily for me I have always been surrounded and supported by brilliant teammates and management.? I would like to think that together we have made a positive impact on the ɳ°Í×ãÇò IT team.

?

What role has mentorship played in your career?
Mentorship has been of extremely high importance for me. Having a trusted person to obtain career advice, discuss various issues, and share ideas. has definitely changed how I approach problems and view the world around me. For me, having good mentors has definitely been invaluable.

?

I have been quite fortunate to have had many people take a chance on me, show trust in me, and just give me an opportunity to succeed.

?

What¡¯s the best career decision you¡¯ve ever made?
From an employer perspective, working for ɳ°Í×ãÇò has been the best decision for me. Absolutely no question about that. I have been quite fortunate to have had many people take a chance on me, show trust in me, and just give me an opportunity to succeed.

?

From a worker characteristic (so to speak) perspective, I would say that frequently stepping out of my comfort zone for growth purposes has served me well.??

?

In my history, new opportunities have rarely presented themselves as a ¡°perfect match¡± for my skill set. But, I soon realized that if I wanted to increase my knowledge, my experience, my confidence, and my overall value to the company, then I better learn how to step out of my comfort zone!

?

As you think about the next steps in your career, what are the most important actions you plan to take?
The most important actions that I have planned actually don¡¯t revolve around my career.? The world has been a challenging place over the past couple of years and I want to focus more on my family, my physical health, and just take some time for myself.

?

What do you enjoy most about the work you do?
I really enjoy the people and the tough problems we are challenged with.? There is never a dull moment in the world of IT.
