What do you enjoy most about being the head of strategic planning?
There are a lot of jobs where you do the same thing over and over. Perhaps the structure of my day is similar, but the work in between is very different.
It varies based on where we are in the strategic plan life cycle and the questions or demands of the day. I really appreciate that.
As someone who enjoys learning, continuously improving, and being challenged, this is the perfect role for me.
