Questions & Answers
How do you make people laugh?
Dry humor. My humor aligns well with shows such as Curb Your Enthusiasm, Abbott Elementary and Bob's Burgers.
If you were a tool or piece of equipment, what would you be and why?
I'd be a computer mouse. Sure we could all use the trackpad on the laptop, but for most, the computer mouse makes our lives easier when using a laptop. That is what I aim to do for my customers and team. Make the job/process easier, simpler and faster where needed based on data.
What's your favorite productivity hack or time-saving trick?
I am a big fan of Tableau and automating reporting capabilities. Reporting to the client et al can be time intensive based on a pre-defined cadence. By developing a standard and automating the process through Tableau, I have reduced the administrative reporting time, freeing myself and team up for more value add work.
