“I have learned how important it is to have strong collaboration among and across teams and specialties – because I’ve seen first-hand the impact it has on the team, the team’s growth and, especially on the quality of the work.”

“Be a sponge! Ask questions and engage with your colleagues to learn what they do and their backgrounds. Volunteer for a project you don’t know much about. Find someone you admire and ask them to be your mentor. In my experience, they will be delighted you asked.”
