How best to support me
- Be patient with me when it comes to computers. I’m a pretty fast learner but all this technology is new to me.
- I am largely an auditory learner. I learn by hearing things and being shown in a step-by-step fashion. Written material is helpful to have to refer to later if needed.
- I love having a vision but I work best focusing on one day at a time. It helps to have big vision broken down into manageable pieces.
- When possible, it helps me to know about deadlines ahead of time. This allows me to stay relaxed and focused on the project rather than my speed
- I enjoy working collaboratively with others.
