1. Who had the greatest influence on your education and/or career path?
My parents. My mom spent time with me when I started school, teaching me how to study and do well in class and buying me interesting books to read. Both my mom and dad having master’s degrees in electrical engineering served as an inspiration for my own intellectual development.

I am responsible for the Carter Center’s donor relationships in Asia. My days always vary, but I am typically reaching out to donors and prospects in multiple different countries and keeping up with all of the Carter Center’s peace and health programs so that I can keep our donors and prospects up to date on our work.

A typical day as a customer success manager (CSM) at Calendly looks like prepping slide decks for calls with customers, leading group product trainings and demos, strategizing for programs that will benefit our users and further their goals, and tracking the success of our current programs.
