"I feel very confident that the organization and prioritization skills I developed during my undergraduate, graduate, and Ph.D. programs have prepared me for success in this role at Bayer. It all comes down to being organized and working according to deadlines. I have found that utilizing a calendar and a project management tool helps me to keep track of day-to-day items alongside project milestones that need to be met. I know this position will entail the same everyday tasks and long-term project work."

"I will determine which project requires my attention by the number of hours of work needed and then the project size. I am comfortable delegating tasks when needed, but I am also aware that these times will require additional hours from me. Never have I underdelivered on a deadline. I keep things on track with written lists and ensure I have time blocked on my calendar to sit down and complete necessary work. If playing catchup on email later is necessary, I never hesitate to do so."
