I see myself as a people developer. It's a big part of the job, and my team calls me their Panda Mom. And it's funny, but the more effort I put into helping my team grow, the more I learn and grow myself.

They want us to grow as people, not just as managers. So Panda encourages continuous learning and has a lot of programs to help us. One of the most important things I’ve learned so far is to never give up. I take in the feedback, and I keep changing and growing.

I started as Kitchen Help, barely speaking English. But they believed in me and taught me new skills. And that if you bring your mind and heart to everything you do, the possibilities are endless.
