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 often tell people I’m a firm believer in the power of goal setting. But I’ve come to realize that this statement oversimplifies the matter. Goal setting, in and of itself, is certainly powerful. After all, if you don’t know where you want to go, you’ll probably end up somewhere …but whether or not that’s a place you want to be is anyone’s guess.
