Why did you choose your profession?

I was placed in a position of leadership, and found that I had skills that had not been previously realized. I discovered that I enjoyed planning and coordinating activities and working with a variety of people with varying levels of skills and knowledge.

Who are your main influences?

Three specific managers come to mind specifically. Each has varying temperaments, but the primary similarity is the ability to be fair while being tough. I knew my responsibilities and I had their trust, but I also knew that if went outside the boundaries of my position that I would be called out.

What is your most significant accomplishment?

I was assigned to a project, in mid-November, to integrate a newly purchased company with the existing network. Management at the newly purchased company wanted integration completed by the end of December. I developed a schedule to review with stakeholders from both organizations to show that a December timeframe was not realistic and provided a realistic timeline that enabled the integration to move forward.

What tools do you use?

MS Office Professional suite, MS Project, Google suite, ServiceNow, and various project management tools.

What advice would you give someone just starting in your profession?

Be prepared! The best Project Managers accept all of the responsibility and none of the credit. Praise the team for successes and accept blame for the failures.
