DNA You’re a natural leader who’s empowered to see projects succeed. You understand success for your clients means communicating and managing expectations throughout the course of the project. You understand that you can’t just set a timeline and let the project run itself; you ensure your team and all stakeholders are informed every step of the way and have the data to back it up.

You’re resilient when facing challenges in a project and are able to proactively work towards a resolution. You have a "get ‘er done" mentality and are proactive, not reactive. You’re able to translate complex scope and timeline into small workable chunks and have the ability to explain complex issues and present them in a way that clearly conveys impact and understanding. You consider yourself a lifelong learner who embraces the opportunity to learn from others and grow from past mistakes and tough projects. You’re innately service-oriented and always communicate with respect and professionalism. You’re an expert multitasker who can diligently handle many things at once and enjoys having a full plate.
