Adaptability: The pharmaceutical industry<br />

constantly changing which requires you<br />
to dynamically adapt to any situation or<br />
scenario.<br />

strategy in mind is the best first step in any<br />
situation or scenario.<br />

Career aspirations:<br />
•§<br />
I strive to be in a role where I can make the most impact based on my<br />
level of expertise and skillset. In my current role as Operations Manager,<br />
I make the most impact by anticipating and carrying out the needs of<br />
program, team and industry. Eventually, I would like to grow to a senior<br />
leadership role where I can further apply myself in a higher capacity. I<br />
view growth as being a natural progression but never something that is<br />
simply handed down as it must be warranted and proven.<br />
Advice to associates:<br />
•§<br />
Challenge yourself – While each challenge may bring forth various end results, the experience alone is<br />
valuable and worth the effort regardless of the result.<br />
•§<br />
Be competitive – Actions often speak louder than words and sometimes we must prove ourselves as we<br />
may all have the potential but it’s the results and performance that differentiates us.<br />
•§<br />
Respect – Initial respect may be given solely based on our titles alone but it is a fact that respect must<br />
be maintained and strengthen by being an effective leader.<br />
