Simply put, you love to learn.
    • Data driven – Excellent at working with data to identify trends and insights, including both structured (i.e. data and hard numbers) and unstructured (i.e. interviews and qualitative) data. Experience visualizing data with tools such as Excel, PowerPoint, Google Docs and Slides.

    • Client-centric – You love nurturing and building relationships and can confidently provide strategic guidance to your clients.
    • Problem Solver –You are a natural problem solver. When something doesn’t go as planned, your first instinct is to look for a solution, rather than viewing it as a roadblock.
