Motivation
Known as "The Problem Solver" through every field I have been in, either in academics or professional, it's a title I strive to uphold everywhere that I work. The desire to learn new things and pick up new skills is what has helped me achieve that in the past and that desire is rekindled every time I find myself in a new work environment. Being the "one stop solution" person in whatever role I take on is what drives me at the end of the day.
