What is your unique genius? How do you bring it to your work at Blue Engine?
I am a naturally curious deep thinker. I think in question forms and the answers help me make meaning of the worlds within which I exist. In the work space, this translates to using my strength to inspire people to think in new ways and lean into what is possible with ease and renewed purpose. Data and evaluation are not very exciting topics for many people, yet they are fundamental to how we navigate the world.
