What does a typical day for you at Nth look like? I start the day collaborating/catching up with my team, and then I get straight into work.

Additionally, I consistently strategize with our partners on how we can spur up opportunities with potential clientele.
Which fellow Nth’er(s) inspire you and why? The San Diego based Account Managers (Carol Herr, Tim McCauley, and Julie León) have all been a huge inspiration to me. Each embody the professionalism, intelligence, and work ethic I aspire to develop in the years to come.
