How did Georgia Tech and/or the Nunn School help you get to where you are in your career? 

Georgia Tech & Nunn School taught me how to be organized, manage my time, be a problem-solver, act proactively, and think big which has played a major part in my career progression so far (also my love of Georgia Tech lead me to start working here after graduation)
