What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best career advice I’ve ever received is to avoid being the smartest person in the room. There’s always something to learn from others, and by staying open to new perspectives, I can grow continuously and apply those lessons to my own development.
What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
The biggest challenge in my field right now is the inconsistency of orders, which can make planning and growth unpredictable. At the same time, this creates opportunities to strengthen client relationships, diversify offerings, and implement strategies that stabilize and grow the business over time.
What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
The values that are most important to me in both my work and personal life are transparency and caring. I strive to communicate openly and honestly while showing genuine concern for the well-being of others, building trust and meaningful relationships along the way.
