Personality Type
I work well both independently and on teams. I’m an INFJ, otherwise known as The Advocate.
As an Advocate type, I am creative, insightful and convincing. I can quickly glean insights, identify problems and design creative solutions rooted in data that you will walk away believing in. I am also determined, passionate and altruistic and pride myself on the level of grit and empathy I bring to my daily work.
