    Happy International Women's Day!

    I loved watching Christine's interview. I felt like there were three main themes that resonated with me:

    • The importance of process improvement
    • The value of mentorship
    • Changing Career Paths

    The changing career paths was a particular "a-ha" moment. To hear that Christine started with Electrical Engineering and eventually moved into accounting reminded me not to be so rigid about my career path. The old adage "What's for you won't pass you".

    Thanks for sharing!
