My career in software started from my love of innovation and the fast pace environment of the technology industry. In my current role as a customer success manager, I am responsible for advising and guiding a wide variety of customers to ensure they have implemented our software successfully. I have had the privilege of working cross-functionally with several teams like sales, professional services, finance, and customer support. While working with those teams, I have learned the skills to build last relationships, compassion, and to be a role model for others.

Because of my choices, I would consider that my work ethic relates to the Fukushima 50. The Fukushima 50 were a group of employees that were employed by the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.

Through these efforts, I have displayed a level of ethical leadership that impacts
