“The power of interdisciplinarity is being able to take a way of seeing the world from one area, one that’s rich in academic excellence, and then being able to transport it and map it onto something else.”

“A job like mine does not ask you only to be a public speaker, data analyst, project manager, writer, or team player, but all of those thing together.”
