Attention to detail, and always ask myself why in daily practice. Attempt to find alternative solutions to the problem.

Nice! It's great that you're detail-oriented and always questioning things, in addition to being someone who tries to find new solutions. Carry this further by stating that you think creatively and critically. You might also add that you rely on data and/or research to make decisions whenever possible. Finally, if there's an example you can include from a time when you solved a problem successfully on the job, consider adding it.
