This question can sometimes trip applicants up because it's so open-ended. That said, you can expect some variation of this question, so make sure you have a solid idea of your answer before the interview! It's a way for both you and the interviewer to ease into the interview, allowing the interviewer to get a quick overview of who you are as a candidate while letting you highlight the most central aspects of your professional and personal identity.
