"My first reaction when I do something wrong in my work is to own it. Next comes taking action to fix my mistake. This last semester, I was working on a group project, and about four hours into my work, I realized that I was taking a direction that the team didn't want. Rather than try to justify my work, I contacted my team members on our group chat and let them know of my mistake. Knowing my upcoming schedule, I knew I could be caught up with my part of the project by Saturday, and I committed to that deadline. They were very thankful for my honesty."

"My first reaction when things go wrong on the job is identifying what went wrong for the error to occur. Getting down to the root cause is vital in ensuring the same mistake doesn't happen twice. Once identified, I never hesitate to let any stakeholders know of the mistake and then formulate a plan for how to fix the mistake. I will bring this same mindset to the job at Bayer."
