  • One word that describes how you work: efficiently

What apps/software/tools can’t you live without? Why?

Google drive, Microsoft, especially Excel, and apple music. I use google drive everyday for school and keeping on top of my classes and calendar. I will use Excel for my job in the finance world and most of my classes. I use apple music everyday for the walks to school and sometimes working.

What’s your best time-saving shortcut/life hack?

Getting my work done right away so I can focus on other things that need to be done. It helps me be more productive and stay on top of things in a timely manner. It ends up saving a great amount of time in the end.

What everyday thing are you better at than everyone else? What’s your secret?

I am good at organizing all of my work and activities to be done early so I can be more productive in the rest of my day. I mostly have all of my stuff for the day logged on a calendar. This helps me know what I need done day by day and week by week. It takes hard work and focus to be efficient and productive throughout the day.

What do you listen to while you work?

When I do listen to music while working I will choose a quiet, soothing type of music. Most of the time it will be country. However, I do enjoy a quiet environment some of the time.

What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?

Treat others the way you want to be treated.

Where do you find inspiration and new ideas?

I find inspiration and new ideas from successful people in today’s business world through social media and the internet.

What’s your favorite quote?

It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light -Aristotle
