How I relax

Reading. Petting cats. Working on my degree in Pedro Pascalogy.

Video games, cooking, sitting in front of open windows.

Best way to get me excited about something

Tell me that you need help fixing it or bringing it into compliance.

Fixing things = dopamine

Something that drives me crazy 😵‍💫 🤬

Not being able to fix a broken process because others are afraid of change.

Even in a regulated industry, it's important to have an open mind to change in order to minimize or eliminate error.

One thing that might surprise you about me…

I'm a laid back high performer - those two things don't usually mesh.

My Achilles Heel is…

Chit chat and noise - I prefer a quieter environment to work in.

Ping me on Teams to talk about non-work related stuff - I can multitask easier over chat.

Am I lucky?

I don't believe in luck, just strong ethics, hard work, & smart decisions.

The concept of luck makes it seem like we don't have control over outcomes.

When I'm stressed, you might notice me…

Be more blunt in my communication - it's not you, I'm just very focused.

Don't take the lack of small talk personally - I'm just trying to keep a million things straight in my head.

Proud moment

I'm always proud at work when I can improve a process significantly.

It reduces frustration, makes things easier for users, streamlines processes.

My favorite movie

The Hobbit Trilogy

What isn't good about that movie? Singing dwarves, a hobbit burglar, an Elven king, a treasure trove, and a DRAGON!!!

The best environment for me is:

time for deep work in the AMno swiss cheese calendar

I like the quiet of the early morning. I can focus best and hammer through a lot of work. Blocked off periods of time to focus work well, too.
