-: Well, I love variety.
So my career has taken an interesting trajectory.
And I am really a generalist,
so I've done a lot of different work.
So with nonprofits I've done fundraising
and I've done
the program oversight
and management part as well as doing
the face-to-face, one-on-one case management.
And so, as a generalist, it really prepares me
for being the executive director
because the work is so varied.
The hardest part of the job for me is quick decisions.
So I like to take my time in making decisions.
So one of my strengths is research.
And I have a history degree
and so I love to do research.
And as an executive director,
I have to make decisions quickly
and don't always have the time
to do as much research as I want.
And so that's one of the hardest things,
quick decisions without all the information.
But that's where,
I think when you're in leadership,
that's part of what the skill
that you're building to do that is
having enough background so that you have
done the research just over time, not today.
