What do you enjoy most about being in your current role?
This is pretty easy for me. As someone who studied music growing up and into college, my favorite part is certainly being a part of something I have a great deal of affinity towards.
It feels like I'm part of something unique, something bigger than myself. A secondary part of that is working with really smart and passionate people who also happen to be musicians.
There's a shared understanding and language in any given meeting about what we're talking about, which is really exciting. It makes work as fun as can be, even though it's a job.
The last thing for me is that I'm never bored and I'm always learning something new. I cherish that, as it's not something you see everywhere.
