• Collaborative: Gets a kick out of working with smart people and learning from them.
• Adaptable: Grasps new concepts quickly; goes with the flow; improves every day.
• Autonomous: Likes help, but doesn’t always need it; owns their work; loves responsibility.
• Optimistic: Sees the best in situations; is solutions focused; never gives up.
