“What really blew me away was how genuine and earnest everyone is. There is no “you’re on your own” mentality, I had the opportunity to learn the ropes at my own pace, observe, ask questions and find out how to optimize things to work based on my preferences. My team especially, is helping me relearn what a healthy work relationship looks like. We support each other and there’s no gatekeeping on projects, technique or skill.”
