Questionsclick to ask me a question

How do you use your strengths in your job?
I manage people - they look to me to help them succeed in their roles. I have to be open, honest and directive with my team. I like to see people grow in their positions. It is rewarding for me to help someone reach and exceed his/her goals.

What was your biggest learning challenge in school?
Math was something that came harder than other subjects. I worked to get good grades in math and usually did. It just took more effort and concentration.

What motivates you to go to work?
I love what I do everyday. I believe in the philosophy and culture of the company I work for. I love being part of a vital, strong and valuable contributor to the overall success of the region. My team members make it a joy to come to work everyday, and I believe in them!

Every job has specific skills. What do you need in yours?
I need to have the skills to teach, coach, support and be a role model for those who see me as their "boss." Providing effective and timely feedback is a must. I need to be able to follow the rules of my profession, and there are many to learn.
