Who You Are

You are naturally detail obsessed but never lose sight of the bigger picture. You combine regulatory sharpness with practical engineering judgment and you know when to challenge and when to enable. Calm under pressure, you bring structure to complexity and clarity to ambiguity. You are assertive without ego, collaborative without compromising standards. When something is not compliant, you speak up. When a process can be better, you improve it.
