What do you enjoy most about being in your industry?
I like that I get to interact with many different types of people. I get to go to conferences and sometimes meet people I wouldn't normally interact with.
This happens because I'm in the sector of research and they might need my help analyzing data or improving their projects. I get to interact with people I wouldn't normally, and venture into different types of careers, getting a sneak peek of what they do.
