How have you navigated obstacles to achieve success in your career? I refuse to look at an obstacle as a problem, and instead view it as a challenge. It is just a detour, which may take a little longer to get around. I have navigated many challenges throughout my career to achieve success. Yes, the challenge lies between myself and success, but this always motivates me to push myself even further. I never give up and I am never satisfied. There is always something else to work towards when the challenge that I have been working towards has been met.
How do you play your strengths to your advantage in your career? I am a friendly, personable person and enjoy meeting others. As a result, I am always growing my network whether it’s through attending events, introductions to others from colleagues and personal relationships, or other opportunities. I love to use technology to help stay in touch with my old and new relationships, but I have always been a firm believer in meeting in person. Having that personal connection goes a long way.
What trends are you seeing so far this year? I am seeing many trends so far even though it’s very early in the year. One in particular that stands out to me is an increase in spending. Businesses are spending more money by investing in their assets, making improvements, and being pro-active instead of waiting for something to break or go wrong. Although it seems like more money is being spent upfront, it will save time and money in the long run.
What do you do for fun? Sports! I am an Islander, Mets and Jets fan. I enjoy watching games and bringing friends and family together.
