Tell me about your favorite manager (anyone you directly reported to). What qualities did they have that really stood out to you?

"The first person that comes to mind is my former marketing director. She was someone who kept herself accessible to subordinates and offered mentorship. She always gave clear and realistic instructions, which is something that has rubbed off on me. I think that in my line of work, being deliberate and thoughtful when giving instructions is crucial. I see myself as the person who holds the marketing team together and keeps track of all the moving pieces. Having worked under my former superior has shown me how important it is to have an open line of communication with everyone."
