Where do you see yourself professionally in 10 years? I would love to immerse myself in a totally different cultural experience, perhaps working overseas, building on my experiences with teams that encompass a wide variety of backgrounds and perspectives.

What advice would you give your 22-year-old self? Stop, get centered and learn balance. Taking the time to care for all the core areas of my life, from spending time with family and friends to focusing on my own nutrition and fitness, helps me perform better on all fronts.

Is your career arc moving fast enough? Why or why not? I’m not focused on measuring the “speed” of my career arc, but on growing and taking on new challenges. I do feel I’m continuing to stretch myself, that I have the opportunity to lead others and do work that has a real impact in the world. •
