When given a task, I am unfamiliar with; I will quickly become acclimated to the field it pertains to and learns on the job as much as I can to complete the task. When evaluating the risk of purchasing a security, I will be honest with my teammates about my findings and will make sure I have done everything I can to make a sound decision. Finally, my empathetic skills will help me understand and assist the needs of the multiple downstream groups I would be working with.
