Keeping Up with the Professional Community

July 26, 2019

Most workers feel like daily job tasks are quite specific, and we often chip away at it, settling into a routine assuming the tasks are always going to be the same. 

Maintaining an Always Learning Attitude

June 11, 2019

In September, I came to work one day and discovered that I had a brand new role. I needed to learn and document a completely different product. It was a bit of a shock but I didn’t freak out (well not much) because this is not the first time I’ve parachuted, pen in hand, into a new product.

Challenge and Reward

I love making music.

This February, I took part in a world-wide event to create ten original songs or 35 minutes worth of original music during the shortest month of the year, called the RPM challenge.
