Let’s start off with some work related questions.
Q: How do you think your colleagues would describe you?
A: I’ve been given the nickname “Magic Marko” by multiple colleagues, which I found very interesting.
Q: How do you maintain work-life balance?
A: Maintaining a healthy work-life balance is essential for overall well-being, and I prioritize it by engaging in various activities outside of work. Here are some ways I achieve work-life balance:
- Outdoor activities: I enjoy spending time in nature, which rejuvenates me. Activities like hiking and camping allow me to disconnect from work and connect with the natural world around me.
- Regular exercise: Physical activity is crucial for both physical and mental well-being. I make sure to incorporate regular workouts into my routine, whether it’s going for the run, practicing yoga, rollerblading, or hitting a tennis ball.
- Traveling: Exploring new places and experiencing different cultures is a passion of mine. I make it a point to plan trips and travel whenever possible. It helps me unwind, gain new perspectives, and broaden my horizons.
- Meeting new people: Building and nurturing social connections is important to me. I enjoy meeting new people, attending social events, and engaging in activities that allow me to interact with a diverse range of individuals. By actively participating in these activities, I find that I can recharge, reduce stress, and maintain a sense of harmony between my professional and personal life.
However, it’s important to note that work-life balance is subjective, and everyone has their own unique ways of achieving it.
Q: Is there a quote that motivates you?
A: “Where there is a will, there is a way.” – if you have a strong determination to do something, then you can find a method and overcome whatever obstacle you’re facing. It’s meant to encourage others, or yourself, to trust in willpower to achieve something that might be hard or seem impossible.
Now let’s find out a little more about your life outside the office.
Q: How do you want people to remember you?
A: I want to be remembered as kind, inspiring, loving, someone who made a difference, brought joy to others, and lived life to the fullest.
Q: What’s a goal you have for yourself that you want to accomplish in the next year?
A: A personal goal I have set for myself in the next year is to become fluent in Spanish. I am excited to dedicate time and effort to learning the language and expanding my communication skills.
Q: What are you happiest doing when you’re not working?
A: Spending time in nature, camping, and hiking brings me the greatest happiness when I’m not working.
