WHY NETCRAFTSMEN?

NetCraftsmen is a place to learn, to brainstorm new ideas, and to develop one’s talent. Most importantly NetCraftsmen lives up to its mission and values.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT YOUR JOB?

I enjoy the collaborative culture that stems from the top down. Everyone’s voice matters and it goes a long way in fostering a collaborative and inclusive environment that is we-focused rather than I-focused.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO OUTSIDE OF WORK?

I love to read, write, bowl, travel, cook, and spend time with family. I hope to pick up a second language in the near future and continue piano lessons.
