What is your current role at Barrett, and what are your primary responsibilities?

I am the Data Analyst Senior. My primary responsibility is to make sure everyone Excel in their use of data, to stay true to our Word of maintaining Access to all, and respecting everyone’s Outlook. In OneNote, I would say that my role is a cog in a well-oiled Office.

How long have you been with Barrett, and what initially drew you to work at Barrett?

I have been with Barrett for more than 6 years now. Before Barrett, I was a Master’s student at ASU.

Can you share a significant accomplishment or project you've worked on during your time here?

Automating the frequently requested reports is one of my proud accomplishments. This has helped customers be self-sufficient.

Do you have a favorite book, podcast, or movie that has influenced your perspective or inspired you recently?

The Huberman lab podcast is an interesting podcast if you are into the scientific literature about our day-to-day activities and finding tools to improve/refine few things in our life.

My favorite movie is Good Will Hunting. It’s about Will who goes on a hunting trip with his buddies and does a good deed. That’s what I thought and had no clue on what I was getting into. I would recommend everyone to watch the move and appreciate the genius actor Robin Williams (RIP). My favorite Christmas movies are Home Alone and Die Hard.

What's a fun fact or hidden talent about you that most people at work might not know?

I have done a great job at hiding my talents from my colleagues (& me). I am going to keep it that way.

What motivates you on a daily basis, both personally and professionally?

I would like to leave a positive humorous effect on people I interact with personally and professionally.

Is there a specific quote or mantra that resonates with you and guides your approach to life and work?

Writing things down using a simple phrase alleviates the anxiety of taking the first step.
