"I've found that I can be productive in any environment that is caring, inclusive, and open to new ideas. I love a collaborative approach to care and an environment where everyone works for the greater good. Four years ago, I was in an environment that was the opposite of collaborative. While I was able to push through tough times and still do what was necessary, I removed myself from the situation as soon as possible. Here at Loma Linda UMC, I'm confident I found a work culture that I can thrive in."

Before interviewing, you need to ask if you are flexible in your ability to work in most environments. While you can speak openly about any settings you dislike working in, it's best to talk about an environment that would be the opposite of what would be provided to you in this role. Loma Linda's cultural values include a generous service to others, a continually supportive environment, and a loving relationship with spirituality.
