"I consider myself a flexible person on the job. I enjoy dynamic work environments that require thinking on my feet, problem-solving, and collaborating with others. When I have to troubleshoot in my current job, I know that new information might mean I have to change course, or reveal to me an issue that must then go back through my colleagues so they can be prepared. And helping my team is one of the aspects of my work I value most. And sometimes that means we have to chase the rabbit trails in order to find solutions."
