Careers Stories

He may have been with us for nearly a decade but, for **Stefano**, time flies when you're having fun. As one of our **Tech Programme Managers**, it’s his job to make sure our awesome brand retail stores run smoothly. So, if you find your favourite LEGO® store is open (or a new one opens near you), it’s probably thanks to him and the team he works in.

“At first glance, you might think supporting LEGO stores is simple. But it's actually way more complex than you'd imagine. We're talking about stores all over the world here.  Each of them is packed with tech – from computers and routers to Wi-Fi antennas and iPads. My mom used to run a small shop back in Italy, and all she had was a cash register and some speakers. Our stores are a whole different ball game."

If it’s in a store and it’s tech-related, the buck stops with Stefano.

“It is pretty much everything. From keeping stores hooked up to the internet to making sure colleagues can print labels and clock in for their shifts. We even have a cool new mobile payment system that lets you pay wherever you are on the shop floor It's all about making the shopping experience as seamless as possible."

“I started my LEGO journey nine years ago as a customer service advisor, answering calls and emails. I worked my way up through different roles, from handling payments and deliveries, to supporting and improving consumer services IT systems, to supporting the launch of LEGO.com in new countries.”


“One of the most memorable projects I worked on was rolling out laptops for our customer service advisors back in 2018. Again, it might sound like a small thing. But it turned out to be a game-changer when COVID hit, allowing everyone to work from home seamlessly."

“Another big project was the overhaul of our customer service systems. This was massive and involved collaboration across multiple teams. It was challenging but also incredibly rewarding to see it all come together.”

Play is in the DNA of the business and that spirit is definitely reflected in day-to-day company culture.

“Even in my current role, which is more business-focused, we make time for fun. We have team-building activities, build LEGO sets together, and even have a monthly "Fab Lab" where we can work on whatever creative tech projects we want.”

“Beyond that, we set a lot of store by colleagues stepping up, speaking out and being brave. Everyone’s ideas are genuinely welcomed and listened to. We can all give feedback, it’s not just up to colleagues in a leadership position. This openness to new ideas is what drives innovation and keeps things fresh.”


Stefano feels he’s very much free to build his own path, career-wise. But he certainly never walks it alone.

“I've been lucky to have supportive people leaders and mentors throughout my journey. They've encouraged me to explore my interests and develop my skills. That's how I went from customer service to tech program management, and who knows what's next!”

“I'm still figuring out my long-term goals, but for now, I'm focused on mastering my current role and learning new things. I even want to pick up another language (I currently speak 3) – maybe French or Danish.”


In case he hasn’t made it plain enough already, Stefano wants to leave nobody in any doubt about one thing:

“I want people to know that this is a place that truly cares about its people. They invest in your growth and encourage you to be your best self.”

“I stumbled upon this opportunity by chance, and I never imagined I'd stay for nine years. But the opportunities for growth, the supportive culture, and the playful spirit have kept me here. If you're looking for a company that values its employees and encourages you to dream big, the LEGO Group might just be the perfect fit for you.”

He may have been with us for nearly a decade but, for Stefano, time flies when you're having fun. As one of our Tech Programme Managers, it’s his job to make sure our awesome brand retail stores run smoothly. So, if you find your favourite LEGO® store is open (or a new one opens near you), it’s probably thanks to him and the team he works in.

Nine years and counting: Stefano's playful journey 🥳

Learning through play has been close to **Javier’s** heart for a long time. This, together with his belief in LEGO® Education, led him from his role at LEGO Duplo to help drive our work as a **Model Designer**. 

"My dream job was to design play-based learning products for children. I'm very much a purpose-driven person, so I need my work to have a meaningful impact – and LEGO Education's mission aligns perfectly with that!" 

Javier's work is all about creating LEGO sets that not only ignite children's creativity but also help them grasp educational concepts. So, what does this involve? 

“I’m going to tell you a secret, are you ready? I play with LEGO bricks for most of my day. Striking the balance between the learning and the play experience requires a lot of hands-on and digital brick building. This means there’s a lot of trial and error until we crack the perfect match.” 

"We start by brainstorming and building multiple ideas using LEGO bricks. Then we refine these models, focusing on simplicity and ease of understanding, while ensuring a fun building experience." 

After almost two years here, Javier’s journey has been both inspiring and fulfilling.

“I get to work closely with educational experts and other designers to ensure that each LEGO Education set has a compelling story and effectively teaches the intended learning outcome.” 

"We also get to participate in kids' tests, which is always a highlight," he says. "Seeing how much children enjoy our experiences is so incredibly rewarding." 

Javier believes that the impact of LEGO Education extends far beyond the classroom. 

"I think our products mirror my role as they are based on the same components: collaboration, creativity and critical thinking. They also create an even playing field for all children, including those who may face challenges in traditional learning environments." 

The endless possibilities that LEGO bricks offer is a constant source of inspiration for Javier: 

1.png

"We have a huge library of bricks to choose from, and we can even ask for new elements to be designed for us if needed. This makes the creative process incredibly exciting - possibilities are endless! Luckily, our colleagues have the chance to play too, as we also have adult tests and a company-wide Play Day, where we get to take part in fun activities together." 

Javier also has some words for any aspiring creative minds who are interested in becoming toy designers at the LEGO Group some day: 

“You don’t necessarily need to be an expert in building with LEGO bricks from the beginning. Before I started my role, I’d only really worked with LEGO Duplo bricks. For me, learning about how to build with other types of bricks has been a steep learning curve that has opened many new possibilities. It has made me analyse and get familiar with the needs and interests of children of different ages, making me a better designer.” 

One of Javier's proudest moments was when he came up with a model idea that, before that point, the team had not managed to make engaging/interesting enough for children: 

3.png

"I felt very proud of coming up with that concept, and the recognition from my experienced colleagues meant so much to me as well. Looking at new design challenges daily has made me accustomed to coming up to new, wacky ideas faster and seeking and being open to feedback from colleagues. So, it could be said that I’ve improved my collaboration and communication skills, as well as becoming more adaptable to change." 

Javier is passionate about the potential of LEGO Education to revolutionise learning. 

"We're offering an alternative to traditional textbooks, a way to help children internalise knowledge in a more enjoyable way - through play. It’s about building a future for education that speaks a language that all children understand and share. This is something I feel inspired to be a part of. Playfulness, connection & flow – those are the ingredients to create truly fun experiences that will help children to develop a long-lasting love for learning." 

It’s an excellent philosophy and one that we share at LEGO Education.

**Steph** leads a team of 17 talented colleagues in our Data Delivery Office. By connecting everyone, they safeguard that Data Office delivers on its North Star: unlocking the value of data across the LEGO Group.

Think of us as the builders who turn blueprints into reality.  

Steph tells us that before she joined us, she’d always been drawn to our vibrant, playful image. 

Steph 1.png

“I imagined a fun, family-friendly workplace." It turns out I was right. But it's even better than I expected. Everyone is incredibly friendly, and there's a real sense of purpose that drives us all.” 

“My role is surprisingly varied so there really is never a dull moment. My team consists of product managers, technical program managers, agile coaches, and a TechOps specialist who is a storyteller that brings our numbers to life. No two days are the same, and I'm constantly learning from these brilliant people around me.” 

“Right now, we're focused on migrating tons of data to our new platform. It's a bit like moving a whole city to a new shiny purpose-built location - so we have to be careful and make sure everything works seamlessly.” 

Everyone who works with us understands the importance of putting customers at the heart of everything we do. 

“We want to make sure the data platform is easy to use and helps people make better decisions. That's what makes my job so rewarding.” 

Steph 2.png

“I'm very proud of the team. We're a diverse bunch, and I've learned so much about how to get the best out of each person. We did a fun exercise where everyone wrote a "self-help guide" about themselves, highlighting their work styles and preferences. It's been incredibly helpful in understanding how to support and motivate everyone.” 

As well as having great colleagues to work with, Steph is also keen to emphasise the difference our playful culture makes. 

“It shines through in everything we do. We try to incorporate fun and creativity into our work, whether it's through team-building activities or brainstorming sessions.” 



Steph 3.png

“But there's also a strong sense of purpose. We never forget that we are working to inspire tomorrow's builders. Personally, I always think about my own children when I'm working on a project. I want to make sure we're creating the best possible experiences for them.” 

“One of the things I love most about working here is the freedom and flexibility I have in my role. I can focus on specific areas that interest me or take on new challenges as I see fit. It's empowering to be trusted to make decisions that benefit the team and the company.” 

“There is a genuine understanding that work-life balance matters. I have two young children, and it's amazing to know that I can fully focus on my family when I'm not at work. It helps me recharge and come back refreshed the next day.” 

“We get out of it what we put in, and there's truly a place for everyone here.”

A data-driven adventure 📊 Meet Steph.  

Numbers can tell an interesting story. Particularly if you happen to be a curious-minded **Data Scientist**, like **Lareina**. But, while technology in this area is continuously evolving, it’s people that will always make the difference that counts. 

“One of the things I like most about my team is that we get to partner with other departments. I get to speak to a lot of super-talented people and that’s one of the key ways I learn. We’re all about delivering innovation via imaginative data science solutions. I get to do what I do best, to help them do what they do best, better.” 
Lareina finds fulfilment in collaborating with various departments, enabling them to excel in their respective domains. She enjoys understanding their motivations and learning from their expertise, which broadens her horizons and exposes her to diverse career paths. 

Lareina 2.png

“I love the culture of fearless curiosity and play we have here. It allows us all to explore new ideas and approaches and that’s how we grow. There is a huge emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion too, and this can be seen in the many and varied colleague advocacy groups. They help create a safe and supportive environment for people from all backgrounds. Participating in these groups, helping to plan events and attend conferences, is something I, personally, find very uplifting and rewarding.” 

This commitment to diversity extends to senior leadership, who actively engage with colleagues from underrepresented groups. This absence of rigid hierarchy encourages a positive exchange of ideas and a work environment where trust and collaboration are key. Lareina believes this, alongside the clear emphasis on learning and development, make it an ideal place for data scientists to thrive. 

“Data science is not just about numbers and algorithms; it's about people. My own involvement with groups, such as the Women in Data Community and the Race, Ethnicity, and Cultural Heritage (REACH) Network is testament to this.” 

Lareina 1.png

“What we’ve done in these groups has led to several impactful initiatives, such as a panel discussion at the London School of Economics on careers in data science and a presentation at the Grace Hopper Celebration, the world's largest conference for women and non-binary technologists. These events empower colleagues to share their knowledge and expertise with a wider audience.” 

Beyond her commitments in this area, Lareina is also keen to share with her very first LEGO® Play Day experience 

Lareina 3.png

“I love it. I walked in as there was so much LEGO paraphernalia. You could feel the spirit and energy of the place, it was so exciting. Everyone grabbed a box and began building all the different little puzzles.“ 

“It was my second week. So when I sat down, I had no idea I was building a model with my Vice President. He was just like everyone else, so I figured he was just another teammate. We just sat and built a model for a bit and chatted. It was only two days later, I found out who he was. But I think that’s one of the beautiful things about play, we become ourselves. Maybe the best forms of ourselves.”

Seeing beyond the numbers with Data Scientist, Lareina 😍

As our **Data Science Director**, **Camilla’s** experience of working here has been an incredible two years filled with data-driven discoveries, playful problem-solving, and a whole lot of childhood nostalgia. 

“I vividly remember my own childhood LEGO® memories – begging my dad for a LEGO Castle as a reward for good grades. That early love for building and creativity stayed with me, and now I get to witness my own children experience the joy of play.” 

Camilla 1.png

“It was only when I stumbled on a LinkedIn job posting for a data science role that I even thought about working here. I was immediately intrigued. Obviously, I knew the business had an amazing reputation for quality and creativity. This resonated with my own values, and the job itself aligned perfectly with my career aspirations. So it was an opportunity I couldn't pass up.” 

So, tell us more about what your role involves. 

“As a data scientist, my team and I dive into vast amounts of data to uncover patterns and insights. We use these findings to make informed decisions about marketing and personalisation strategies. Ultimately, it’s about enhancing the customer experience and driving sales. This makes it a dynamic and rewarding area to work in, and allows me to constantly learn and innovate.” 

Camilla 2.png

“One of our recent projects focused on understanding the LEGO Insider Program – a community for dedicated LEGO fans. This insight has helped us tailor our marketing efforts to create more personalised experiences for our customers.” 

Camilla goes on to describe what it is that makes working here so special for her: 

“Our commitment to fostering creativity, learning, and family connection truly speaks to me. In a world dominated by screens, LEGO bricks offer a tangible, hands-on experience that sparks imagination and brings people together. I feel proud to work for a company that promotes these values.” 

“What’s more, we really are encouraged to think outside the box. Experimenting and even embracing failure as a learning opportunity is all part of this. This culture of innovation has allowed me to evolve in my role, constantly adapting and refining our approach to data analysis.” 

But what about personal development? Does she feel she has been invested in? 

Camilla 3.png

“That’s very much a priority here. There are so many resources for provided for continuous learning. It’s hugely encouraged.  We're empowered to pursue our interests and explore new areas. If it’s a benefit to us, it’s seen as a benefit to the company.” 

“One of my favourite aspects of our culture is the emphasis on play. Whether it's brainstorming creative solutions to challenges or participating in our annual "playathon" (where we tackle fun data projects), playfulness is woven into our work. It's a refreshing break from the daily grind and keeps us motivated and engaged.” 

“My journey has been nothing short of amazing. I'm excited to see where the future takes us as we continue to innovate, play, and connect with LEGO fans around the world. Who knows, maybe one day I'll even find that childhood LEGO Castle in my mum's attic.”

A Data Scientist's journey through innovation and play.

When it comes to the power of learning, we’re of one mind with the great pioneer of American public schools, Horace Mann. He saw education as the great equaliser. As a long-time educator himself, **Head of US Marketing** at LEGO® Education, **Awais**, understands the importance of what this really means today. 

As someone once told me, “There are only two things you can control in life – your attitude and the effort you put in. If you focus on working hard and being a positive person, good things will tend to happen in your professional career.”  

620-LEGOEducation-Lifestyle-087.JPG

“My team and I are responsible for promoting and growing the US business for LEGO Education. The main reason I love my role is because I get to be part of bringing hands-on STEAM education to school districts across the US - and, for that matter, classrooms across the world. This plays a critical role in improving classroom engagement and preparing students for their future careers.” 

“We are a team of teachers, PhDs in education, edtech enthusiasts, and more. Working here feels special because all of us share a commitment to advancing hands-on learning for students everywhere.” 

Awais is clearly an enthusiastic advocate for our approach to learning. But what has this taught him personally? 

“Working with so many smart people can be very humbling. It’s also a great opportunity to learn. I feel very lucky to have a team of such talented people around me. They can always be relied upon to come up with a different perspective, to see things from a different angle I may not have considered.”  

“Our feedback culture is incredibly powerful too. It’s powerful because it’s designed to build up rather than tear down. One colleague commended me on a presentation I recently delivered, but they also suggested I could benefit from slowing my pace a bit. It was so politely and constructively given, and I appreciated it so much. This is the kind of thing that makes us all grow if we listen and act on it.”  

620-LEGOEducation-Lifestyle-129.JPG

“At less than 250 people, we’re a relatively small organisation. But we’re part of one of the most loved global companies. I think this has very much deepened my appreciation and respect for the importance of being a brand steward. It’s also heightened my sensitivity to cultural differences of colleagues around the globe who I work with daily.” 

“What’s more, as a person of colour in a leadership position, I have an opportunity to show students that we serve, many of whom themselves are people of colour, that LEGO Education values diversity. This is clear both from the people that we hire and the schools that we work with.” 

Inclusivity and respect are obviously subjects close to Awais’ heart and he speaks with passion about how this is embedded in day-to-day working practice: 

620-LEGOEducation-Lifestyle-237.JPG

“In our monthly US GTM Alignment call, we kick off every meeting with a different icebreaker question. This allows the audience to get excited and interact with each other. This sets the tone for the meeting and tells everyone that this is a safe space to speak up and share questions and creative ideas.”

620-LEGOEducation-Lifestyle-262.JPG

“Creativity comes with freedom. Everyone does their best work when they feel safe and have the flexibility to bring out their creative side. This allows us to stand out from other providers in the marketplace.” 
 
“Ultimately, I’m proud of hiring and managing a great team that is building new marketing capabilities for our business.” 

And what does he think makes this possible? 
 
“Imagination. Without a doubt. Thinking big with no limits or boundaries. This allows us to achieve the maximum impact with the schools, students, and teachers we serve. But it’s about collaboration too.” 

“Our booth setup at the annual educational conference, ISTE, was a great example of both in action. Everyone had input into this, and I was delighted to see that ours clearly excited the most attendees. It was the only one to attract educators and students, as well as the attention of some admiring competitors.” 

So before we leave Awais to get back to his work, does he have any final words to share? What might someone find surprising about what you do? 
 
“That I still roll up my sleeves and do the work I would expect my team to do? After all, we’re building something new for the business and each of us needs to wear many hats. Oh and how about this: imagine no longer having to work hard first before you play hard. Imagine your work is play. Just imagine that.”

**Divyen** is one of our **Digital Product Design Managers**. His LEGO® journey began with a simple bucket of bricks shared with his brother. Now he’s bringing the physical play experience that inspired him in so many ways to curious minds in the digital space. 

“I grew up in a family where we didn't have a lot of LEGO sets. What we did have was a big bucket of bricks. I have no idea where they came from. But I really enjoyed playing with it. I guess it felt like a time when my brother and I would play together collaboratively. So I have really fond memories of us just building stuff together.” 

These days, Divyen’s work focuses on enhancing the digital experience for LEGO builders, but he emphasises the importance of the physical play experience:  

Untitled design (24).png

"Everything is still about the physical play experience. I see myself as someone that helps get bricks into the hands of children. As someone who works in digital design, it's really important for us to be able to come up with new and different ways of doing things. We solve problems and create special, memorable experiences. We want to empower people to explore.” 

“Technology opens up a whole new world of possibilities. The important thing for us is to make the most of these with integrity. It means walking a fine line. What we do tends to be driven by customer need. It’s also about our desire to empower curious minds to explore. The team I work in focuses on using data to take the pain points out of choosing the right products and serving up content that fits with the choices and possibilities available.” 
 
So can you tell us more about how this looks in the real world? 

“Oh sure. One of the things I worked on last year was the launch of LEGO Insiders. It’s a membership offering that enables us to deliver exactly what I’ve just described. We had a big, rebranded relaunch and I helped to create the range of digital experiences available to customers who sign up.” 

Untitled design (25).png

“For me, it's really about how many people I can bring the joy of play to, be that grownups or kids. There's a lot that comes from simply picking up some bricks and building. It’s really important to bring that experience to as many people as we can.” 

Why do you think this is? Can you tell us more about what you think people get from it?  
 
“That's a good question. I think there are many different answers as there are so many elements and ways to engage with the experience. Personally, I feel like I get a lot of focus from it. I think it helps bring your mind into doing one task. And while you're doing that, you tend to forget about things that are less helpful. It allows our brain to relax. So there’s an element of mindfulness there. But also, it's just fun. It's fun to play with tonnes of stuff.” 

Untitled design (26).png

“It’s something we learn from as colleagues and as a business too. If you value other people's input equally, you will ultimately create a better outcome. It's about talking, it means bringing people in from, say, finance, operations and customer support. The more perspective you have, the more we have to play with in the design process.” 

As children, we're always looking to build and it's nice to have that continue through into adulthood.

Designing the fun into play. Meet Divyen 👋

It's no secret that we’re big on play at the LEGO Group. But for **Theodor**, play isn't simply about our colourful, iconic bricks, it's woven into the fabric of his work as a **Competency Lead** in Digital Technology.

"You could define play as experimenting while laughing. In our team we experiment a lot to find better solutions. And we laugh a lot because it’s fun to solve complex problems with people you like. So, we don't view play as something apart from our day-to-day work. It’s intrinsic to what we do and for an atmosphere where people can be themselves.”

Together with a lead engineer, Theodor leads a team that's anything but ordinary. They're responsible for ensuring the smooth operation of the digital networks that connect our global workforce, factories, and stores. It's a complex job, but the playful spirit with which he and his team approach it fuels innovation and creativity.

0c1c4e61-734b-45a9-a604-6acfc6ed1161-0.jpg

“Our work requires us to be analytical and precise, but if we get stuck and need a fresh perspective, there’s an area set aside for us to build the latest LEGO® sets. Often, the conversations while building bring new ideas for moving forward with the task.”

This unique blend of technical expertise and playful spirit is something that’s reflected in how Theodor talks about his team:

"Rational. Magical. Invisible. This is how I would describe us and what we do. Rational because we are data and information driven. Magical because, as the quote from Arthur C Clarke goes, ‘Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic’. Invisible because when our users don't notice us, we are a success.”

Using this approach, Theodor and his team have revolutionised network engineering processes, vastly reducing the time for certain tasks from months to minutes, saving the LEGO Group a great deal of time and money.

67a5d1d6-b893-42ee-bea4-6d98ccc50f54-0.jpg

"Four years ago, it took approximately three months for a requested change to a firewall, and it involved at least one firewall specialist. Today, after the automation we’ve implemented, it takes five minutes. What’s more it’s now managed directly by the people needing the changes."

His own role has evolved too:

"My job has transitioned from being heavily involved in the coding part to being a people leader with a focus on how to help the team do all kinds of cool stuff. Since the people in my team, thankfully, are way smarter than I am, I aim to support and nurture a self-led team – I concentrate on the what and the why while the team decides on the how.”


d773dfbc-c85a-4c0e-beba-727c462d2baf-0.jpg

"This fits with a lifelong interest in supporting people to grow and learn. In our area, the focus is on getting those with domain expertise in networking to add a software developer mindset and toolset on top.”

"It’s amazing what can be achieved in a culture of collaboration with an experimenting mindset. I really enjoy my current role working with people - there’s never a dull moment.”


"I can be myself here. I think, that is possible because we’re a company where play is valued as much as productivity. There’s room for quirky ideas and for creating cool, creative solutions. Just like kids do with the bricks we make.”

Building fun: how playfulness drives engineering innovation 💡 Meet Theodor.

Building fun: how playfulness drives engineering innovation.

**Jalen’s** story is a testament to the power of play. From his first experience of LEGO® bricks in childhood, to his role as an **Associate Key Account Manager** today, he shares our belief in what collaboration and inclusion can achieve.  

“Playing with LEGO bricks was how I made my first best friend. We had an entire setup in the basement of his parents' home where we built our own LEGO City. It had everything: police station, houses, fire department, schools, cars - even its own laws and currencies. It just goes to show what happens when curious minds are empowered to create.” 

It’s clear that Jalen has lost none of his imagination. But these days he combines it with a talent for seeing what numbers can tell us: 

620-LEGOWorld-Jalen-Clare_095.JPG

"My role requires me to analyse data and develop insights. One of the ways I get to create in my work is by using storytelling techniques to convey the data in a way that resonates with our audience.” 

“It’s good to know that what I do not only helps to drive business success, but it also has an impact on children and families worldwide. I’m part of sharing our message of playfulness and imagination with them.” 

Jalen's passion for creating an inclusive environment is evident too - both within his role and in activities beyond it: 

"I'm a big believer in the power of community. I also believe that the best ideas are generated when many minds come together. It’s what led me to suggest a team brainstorming day to my Account Director. It was a bonding experience for us all and lots of interesting ideas came out of it.” 

LEGO-Bricks-Jalen-Clare-145.JPG

"I’m also involved in numerous Inclusion Networks (Race, Ethnicity, and Cultural Heritage (REACH), Rainbow Builders (LGBTQ+), and Accessibility). This allows me to show up to work as my most authentic self. These groups give a platform for us all to connect, support each other, and celebrate our unique identities. It’s more than a commitment to diversity and inclusion, it’s an expression of our values as a business.” 

As you might expect for someone that embraces a very caring approach to his work, there’s another aspect of what we do that clearly resonates with him:  

“The LEGO Replay program is AMAZING. I love it. Basically, it’s about encouraging customers to recycle and reuse LEGO bricks. This means they stay out of landfills and continue to be played with by kids for decades to come. It’s a win-win. We get to reduce our environmental impact, but it also reinforces the idea that LEGO bricks are meant to be shared, cherished, and passed down through generations.”

Just Imagine with Travis 💭

A curious mind is a hungry mind. Just imagine indulging yours in a business that thrives on sharing knowledge and challenging one another to create the best outcomes. This is just part of the reason our Strategy Director, Travis Peoples, finds his wide-ranging role in Sustainability so fulfilling.

Just Imagine with Lauren 

Just imagine what you did every day could end up changing the world forever. This is how Lauren von Stackelberg (she/her) sees her role as our Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer. Change does not happen quickly or easily when the task is so big. But Lauren is under no illusions about this and she doesn’t do it alone. Collaborating, listening and learning with a curious, open mind are as much part of her journey as they are of everyone who works here.
