"I would say all of those jobs helped me understand how to like manage my time, how to communicate, how to be organized."

"thinking about like what does the team need to be accomplishing today to accomplish our goals for six months or 12 months?"

"So the days can be really varied, uh, which is something that I really love about the role, especially working at a small company."

"critical thinking is really important, being able to quickly problem solve when things come up, and being able to make clear decisions"

"I get a lot of energy from the like smart and kind folks I spend my days with, and I think that's really important when you're thinking about work."

"There's not a lot of historical data or ability to forecast what will happen because you're creating the industry."

"I think that the sort of people who are driven to work in the climate tech industry are some of the most smart and driven people that I've ever worked with, and so being able to be in a space where you could just give stuff a shot is pretty fun."

"I also think people who, um, care about their work and care about the place where they work generally work well here."

"Working in the climate tech space is really empowering and people come to the space 'cause they care about the earth. But also if you feel like your job is, where if you don't do a good job, the earth is in trouble, it can be really hard to be like, oh, I'm gonna turn off my computer and have dinner with my family."

"don't box yourself in by a job description"

"You can withstand a really tough work problem or work environment if you're surrounded by people who you genuinely like spending time with."

"I honestly learned how to learn and I learned how to be curious. And I think that that's something that really is hard to fake."
