Q&A with Crystl:
What did you learn from your first position at Miller-Valentine Group?
You don’t have to know how to do everything, so long as you’re willing to figure it out and ask questions. Most of the time I’ve found that starts with a working knowledge of the departments that operate within your company and knowing where to turn to start the ball rolling.
What drives your passion to come to work every day?
The variety of my day and the people I work with. Supporting them on the day to day items means they can focus on the project they’re working on and getting home to their families safely.
What challenges do you look forward to in your new position?
Continuing to take on new tasks as the need arises and learning or honing the skills necessary to succeed in whatever task that may be. When asked can you do this, I aim to say “Yes, I can figure it out”.
Advice to new Associates?
Look ahead! Being able to forecast what may be needed of you or your team can increase your probability of being prepared ahead of time.
