Here are some of her responses: Q: Tell us about a work project that you’re absolutely crushing and are super proud of right now! Who is supporting you on the project with whom you want to share the spotlight? I was asked to do a team building program for a group of engineers with some underlying challenges. The program went really well. They participated and had great feedback to give at the end of the program. Their manager and my manager were both surprised by the level of engagement. :) #superproudmoment |
