How did you get into this line of work? What keeps you in it?

It all started with my first “real job” as a clerical assistant in a local elections office. That role taught me how to be meticulous, triple-check my work, and stay cool under pressure. I discovered I actually enjoy the details—the kind of work that keeps everything running smoothly but often goes unnoticed. I like wearing multiple hats, switching gears throughout the day, and knowing my work plays a key role in the bigger picture.
