Both are viable options for project management. However, generally speaking, waterfall leaves little space to correct later on in the project - and often includes an expensive backflow when things don't match up with the spec docs. Agile, like it's name, provides the team more flexibility to make adjustments throughout the process. Feedback is emphasized as the project is shown to customers, only to iterate through the process again for more improvements.
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.)?

When thinking about industries of interest, I am intrigued by travel, energy, and marketing. The perfect companies would emphasive work-life balance, hard-work, and diversity. I would have the opportunity to learn and grow within the industry, make an impact on my team, be pushed to lead, and have the flexibility to take time off, work from home, and work remotely. This position would initially be located in Denver, and would include a strong training program, with potential mentors, to push me to grow and learn new frameworks, languages, etc. I would work with like-minded people in the sense that the office is relatively young, hard-working, and open!

Empathy is an extremely human characteristic. In my life, it allows me to build relationships, collaborate, and teach. It allows us to connect with others and create a shared experience. Over the past 2 years, I have become increasingly interesting in the idea of awareness. Simply put, awareness is the perception of a situated. However, if you dive a bit deeper, you'll find that self-awareness and awareness of others can be powerful tools in social situations as well as professional. In either, I have been able to use this profound awareness to better understand myself, including my strengths, weaknesses, thoughts, beliefs and motivations, as well as the ability to understand others. I've found that taking the time to understand, and later reflect on, these awarenesses, has allowed me to better relate to, create, and collaborate with others.

This is my Professional Development Pre-Work
My top strength, according to Pairin, was Professsionalism, which comprised the following 5 key skills: Initiative, Leadership, Grit, Productivity, and Accountability. Of these 5 skills, Grit really stuck out to me as a strength that I embody at my place of work, when playing a sport, and in my personal life. Grit ties into my value for positivity, can-do atitude, and achiever mentality. Throughout my time in Latin America, for over 2 years I encountered adversity in a variety of forms, including language, culture, and prejudice. I'm currently battling adversity with a recent surgery to my meniscus. Whatever obstacle it is that I'm faced with, I am able to show grit and determination, find positivity, and make the best of any situation.
