>> I love, so I'm from New York City, I grew up here.
I love working for the city and surveying the students of New York City.
I graduated from New York City public schools.
We have 1700 schools and there's a wide variation in their readiness
to provide the quality of education that all kids deserve and I think that technology plays,
can play an important role in delivering on the promise of educational equality.
And so I love the mission of what I do and getting to serve the mission of what I do.
And I work with a lot of really smart people.
I like working with people who are technology people and people who are not technology people
because they approach problems in very different ways.
And neither way is necessarily better than the other
and often solutions kind of run in between.
So I like the problem solving aspect of my work.
I'd say the most challenging for me personally is working in a large bureaucracy.
It is, can feel disheartening.
Sometimes when you want to get something done and you see the value and you feel
like you're ready to go and there can be structural hurdles to moving
as quickly as you'd like to move.
So I've been in the department for four years in various roles so I've gotten fairly accustomed
to this and learned how to navigate it, which has been, I guess that's a skill also.
But that's one thing that's challenging about it, yeah.
