"I enjoy listening to the stories of people from generations before me and with backgrounds different from mine. I will eagerly strike up a conversation with anyone in an attempt to learn something new. In all honesty, my time attending my Bachelor's degree program was when I was exposed to a diverse environment and thrived there. We all have the opportunity to learn from each other, help each other and celebrate together. I look forward to doing that here at Bristol-Myers Squibb."
