ON CAREER GROWTH
Our clients hire us for our expertise. In a changing world, for me, this means continuous improvement of our technical capabilities, but also of how we apply it to meet our clients’ challenges. Associated’s support of technical career paths, along with a focus on client service, allows us to put our technical excellence to work in a meaningful manner.
ON TEAMWORK
Working with others makes us better and happier! I get the most enjoyment and most learnings from working in teams, as our colleagues from diverse backgrounds and disciplines bring different perspectives to projects. Associated’s One Office culture builds strong networks and the right teams for a job; plus it is fun!
ON WORK/LIFE BALANCE
Being active outside, good food and company make me happy. I enjoy skiing, running, walking, biking and camping with the family, dog, and friends, and traveling to my native Europe.
