Work style

How I prefer to work

Office

Morning

Mostly in a team

Qualities I value in my colleagues

  • Efficiency
  • patience
  • creativity
  • curiosity
  • work ethic

People who at all costs want to get the job done and be proud of what they have accomplished. They are company minded and will put in the extra effort to make sure things are done. Selfless, humble people who want to make the company and those around them succeed.

My communication style

  • Polite
  • curious
  • casual
  • genuine
  • cordial

I'm not very good at communication but I value when people are sincere and really seek to understand. People who listen and thoughtfully respond.

My pet peeves

  • Secrecy
  • inauthenticity
  • close-mindedness
  • laziness
  • wastefulness

I don't like when people give a half-hearted effort or settle for less than what they could actually provide. People should show up and give their best effort even if it falls short. Part of what is exciting about work is big ideas and creating better solutions for what we do. People are close-minded or treat people indifferently because they do not hold the same status or rank as you.

Fun fact

Though I sit behind a desk most of the day I actually enjoy physical hard work. In college during the summers, I worked at a mine.
