• Great communicator: listens well, reads cues, and adapts to different styles.
• Reliable and professional, with good notetaking and teamwork.
• Flexible and adaptable; comfortable with changing needs and shifts.
• Values fit: Bring Energy, Nurture and Care, Act with Integrity, Listen and Connect in action.
