I attribute my success to always wanting to learn new things and always looking for better ways to have a better system or way of doing things. I'm constantly trying to learn and look for resources to do things in a better way, even if people don't want to change. For me, it's about learning new things all the time - things change every year, every single day. I learn something every day, even if it's something small. I strive in learning something every day and helping people achieve things by accepting change. Some people don't accept change and want to do things the old way, but the new way is so much easier. I thrive in learning new things and new ways to do things, getting new resources, or just reaching out to resources that you have right there at your fingertips if you just inquire.

The best career advice I ever received was from my dad, who told me that no matter what you do in life, you should be the best at whatever you do. It doesn't matter if you're a teacher or a bus driver - be the best bus driver they have. That's part of my values, to do my very best. Whatever I do, I do my best. For example, if you ask me to book a hotel for you, I'm going to get you the best hotel there is because I'm going to do my research, call them, look online, look at pictures. I'm not going to just place you anywhere I wouldn't want to go. My values is doing my best at whatever I do.

I would say it's a good opportunity for someone who loves people in general - a caring person who cares about people and cares about the company's well-being. You need to care about the bottom line and be very passionate about whatever company you work for. In pharmaceutical, we're saving lives and having people live longer, and I'm very passionate about that. You have to be passionate about what you're doing and the impact you're making.

I value hard work and putting in my best effort. My dad told me that no matter what you do in life, you should be the best at whatever you do - whether you're a teacher or a bus driver, be the best at it. That's one of my values: to do my very best at whatever I do. If you ask me to book a hotel, I'm going to get you the best hotel there is because I'm going to do my research and not place you anywhere I wouldn't want to go. Another value is sharing what I know and not holding in something that can help someone out. I believe in helping new people succeed. In my previous position, some people wouldn't want to help new people, but I would always remind them that I helped them when they first came. I tell them to try to help the new people so they can succeed. Somebody helped me when I started, and you won't receive blessings if you have that attitude of not helping others.
