What attracted you to your chosen work? What skills did you develop early that are still useful today?
I'm really passionate about making things happen. I've always felt that through my career as an industrial engineer, I can make a meaningful impact in any business or company. Some of the important skills that I picked up early in my career were business acumen, negotiation and persuasion and leadership.
How have you grown in your career at Avery Dennison?
I’ve been able to grow my career by demonstrating persistence and resilience, while being open to feedback and learning from others. It has also been important to focus on people and look for creative ways to resolve problems, including developing automated tools that can help complete the work faster.
What's the biggest stretch opportunity you've taken on?
I was offered a managerial position very early in my career. At that time, I had only been working for Avery Dennison for one a half years. I considered myself very young at that moment. Initially, I had some fear when I accepted the position, but I was able to prove that you can make things happen through work hard and passion.
