Over the years, with my hard work and thirst for knowledge along with the training and coaching from my colleagues, leaders and mentors, I have achieved the position of a team leader. With their continued support and guidance, I hope to progress on this upward path, to continue to learn and become a role model for the new generations of entry-level programmers coming to Edward Jones.

Additionally, I have always had a leader that has challenged me with opportunities, and I have sought out feedback to help myself grow.
