What has changed the most since you started out in the industry?
There are less people doing more work. Clients want more for less and everyone is under pressure to keep costs low. It is more essential than ever to implement standardization everywhere you can.
What are three words that describe how you do your job?
Curious, Productive, Efficient.
What are you most passionate about in your role at F2 Strategy?
When I came to F2 my hope was to work with motivated people who I could learn from and grow my career. In turn my hope was to teach others what I know and help them grow as well. I am happy to say that has been my experience.
