What role has mentorship played in your career?
I have come across some great people throughout my working career who helped to shape my thinking, priorities and sometimes even my life decisions. It sounds huge, I know. But sometimes, you just run into someone who is the right mentor at the right time. They will help you discover yourself and support you with your growth goals. A true enabler helps to unleash your potential.
What's the best career decision you've ever made?
I am relatively early in my career, so it's difficult to choose one that has been the best decision I've ever made. But if you have to put me on the spot, I would say to stay within Avery Dennison. Over these 3 years, I have had a lot of personal growth while also being able to focus on myself and understand what I want from life.
As you think about the next steps in your career, what are the most essential actions you plan to take?
For the next steps in my career, there is one significant action I will keep with me. I must stay true to my core values of integrity, kindness, and helping others unleash their potential. Staying true to yourself is the most essential thing in life, and I know that I will eventually end up where I should be. What that will look like is something that only time can tell.
What do you enjoy most about the work you do?
There are many things to choose from, from customer satisfaction to the dynamic environment and the people. What I truly enjoy and that gives me the most energy is seeing all my team members grow every day, even if it is just a little bit.
