Attributes

Drive: I have faced plenty of ups and down in life and have faced a lot of hurdles. The only thing that has gotten me through all that is my passion and drive to achieve success in life and make my family proud.

Collaboration: For me collaboration is when a group people come together and work together in the quest to achieve a common objective. A great example of collaboration is volleyball. I play a lot of volleyball at my university. It is a totally team sport where the team must work as a unit to succeed.

Growth: I am constantly looking for opportunities to grow both professionally and personally. A good example of this would be when I started studying with my university. I admitted myself into a single bachelor degree program. However, I soon realized that IT was a field that was vastly growing and entering all fields. And I felt that if I didn’t study it I would be left behind. So, I transferred myself into a double bachelor degree program.

Flexibility: I have had the opportunity to live on three different continents in three different countries with there different cultures. I had to adjust myself according to the country’s rituals, values and practices every single time.

Resilience: The past five years has been pretty tough for me as I have lost my father and grandfather during the time period. But I have not let that stop me from chasing my dreams and working towards the goals that I have set up for myself.
