What technology project(s) have you worked on that you are most proud of?: 

I find great satisfaction in our ongoing efforts to improve our space management system. Previously, we solely relied on an external consultant for system enhancements and process improvements.

This opportunity for growth within my role has been fulfilling and has brought benefits to our space community. Additionally, I love the positive relationships and camaraderie I share with my colleagues!
