"I have been told that I am an excellent problem solver, and I believe this is because I have a bit of an engineering mind. I can take the issue, work it backward to solve it, and then use that resolution to avoid the same issue on future projects. I have strong attention to detail and am also a big-picture thinker, which allows me to come up with various resolutions per problem."

"I am a great problem solver because I can compartmentalize all aspects of a problem before studying it. When I don't have all the answers or am missing information, I tap into any resources I have. Sometimes that means asking for help, which I'll do only when it doesn't take others' attention away from higher priorities. Only then do I bring more experienced team members in to add to the solution. I'll never try to be a hero and solve a complicated problem without tapping into the resources around me."
