My Role

Web Developer

What I love most about my role

I love being a web developer because each day I am faced with new design requests or new coding issues. For this, I am constantly challenging myself and always learning. Each project is different so it never gets boring. I also love using my creative skills as well. My job also provides flexibility so that I can work from home (or anywhere) for that matter which has been so pivotal with raising three children.

How I define success

I define success by enjoying my career being able to maintain a great work-life balance. I think the most important thing is to enjoy what you do.

The best piece of business advice I ever received was

Back in grad school, we read a book called Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman. ;It talked about the importance of being aware of your own emotions and the emotions of others to make a positive impact on your job success and career path. I've found throughout my career that treating people well, considering others' viewpoints, and empowering people are great tools to success.

What would I tell my younger self

Take more risks.

What 2B Bolder mean to me

2B Bolder means to me to always challenge yourself and don't be afraid to fail sometimes.
