What’s one professional skill you’re currently working on?

Writing Skills. Sometimes by being a non-native English speaker, I feel I need to improve the way I express myself in order to share my ideas in a more clear way.

 

What’s a mistake you made early on in your career, and what did you learn from it?

Early in my career, I was working on a small project where the communication with the customer was not good enough. There was a lot of misunderstandings and I decided to start working closely with the customer. That is when I learned how valuable good customer relation and communication is.

 

What’s one thing you’re currently trying to make a habit of?

Since my partner is Argentinian, I am trying to make a habit of practising a little bit of Spanish every day.

 

What are you interested in that most people aren’t?

Crochet. During lockdown, I taught myself how to crochet in order to make some toys for my baby. We will see if it is something I will stick with though. 🙂

 

What hidden talent do you wish you would have?

To eat as much as I want without gaining weight.

 

What’s the top destination on your must-visit list?

Japan; people have told me that it is one of the most cultural and beautiful places in the world. Always wanted to go but the opportunity hasn’t been presented yet. I hope I will soon be able to cross it from the list though.
