After reviewing my Pairin survey results I am able to identify my greatest strength which Pairin labeled Specialist. I agree with the finding in the fact that I do strive to work with precision and expertise. I have found that in my past academic and professional career I get satisfaction from structure and organized projects. I also find that looking at the world objectively has a positive impact on every aspect of my life.
Although I am able to work efficiently in many different settings, I find that I do my best work when in a self regulated environment. Being able to set the structure of my work space and flow I am much more efficient and productive. I find that not confining myself to one area helps me to not get stuck in one way of thinking. Furthermore, working in an area with some distractions is helpful to me as it keeps my imaginative side functioning in the background allowing me to stay crea
Empathy has always played a large role in my life thanks to the upbringing of my parents. Since childhood I have seen the postive impact being empathic in everyday life as I went to more than ten schools before I graduated highschool. I learned interact with peers from a wide varieties of backgrounds and cultures and learned to make friends with as many as I could.

What have you learned about the use of agile vs. waterfall in software projects? After our evaluation for the Futbol project I was able to see first hand how important the agile development process is when working with a team. This was most evident after setting our initial plan and then having to modify as the project progressed and new issues arose.
How did you and your group approach project management in this project (what tools did you use, how did you hold each other accountable, etc.)?

| Change has been the biggest the biggest constant throughout my life. This can seem relevant to anyone but for me personally this means changing cities, changing schools and eventually changing jobs. All of this change has allowed me to become a dynamic person.

| Once I entered the workforce I have done everything from managing a pizza place to professionally driving a zamboni for the Arizona Coyotes. Eventually I found my passion in healthcare administration, specifically in home health care. I created a career for myself in a field that has little to no instructions and required constant critical thinking. I also discovered my passion for helping people. After about 6 years in the industry I found that I was burned out and very frustrated. As many people know, there are copious amounts of red tape and I was not able to facilitate any real change, to actually help our patients. | |
