Fell in love with all things creative in HS like photography, fibers art, materials art, etc.

Day to Day
On a daily basis, I am assisting my team members to manage their clients and their projects. I wear a few "hats" in my job three of which I find most important 1.) client services; 2.) handling complex / difficult situations and proactively identifying risks and; 3.) mentoring my team members. My favorite part of my job is mentoring people who truly want to be mentored in order to increase their performance and enhance their passions.
Advice for Getting Started
Here's the first step for college students
Identifying whether or not client services is something that you are interested in is extremely important. We work with clients of many sizes, resources and knowledge and being someone who is flexible and patient would be great with client services. The Project Management side of my job is finding a balance between the flexibility and being task-oriented in order to keep internal and client resources departments on task. As a Manager of Implementation Services, finding that balance is important.
