What do you enjoy most about being in your industry?
I think it's a really interesting combination of left-brain and right-brain skills and thinking. You don't get bored. You can be creative, and you can be practical.
There's not a typical day, so I think there's a lot of variety in terms of the kinds of things that you're doing day to day. I'd like to think that what I'm doing is helping people in a very specific way.
