When we envision what the two look like, they could not appear more dissimilar in our minds. The culture of engagement, passion, and purpose versus the culture of punching clocks and sacred cows.

What is a transferable skill? Time management. I needed it when balancing a handful of demanding courses, a capstone paper I really wanted to hit out of the park, part time work, bills, (at times) a social life and rest. I need it just as much in my current role as Customer Support and Operations Manager at Addgene. In this role, I balance my daily tasks, meet cross-team project commitments, respond to any issues raised by team members, and plan for the future of the team.

I’m not willing to take that risk, so I set goals.
