Why Do You Enjoy Working In This Industry? I really like seeing the analytics of how people are reaching their destination; it started from my time in journalism where I was really interested in the source of people reaching stories.

Why Are You Excited About Working For TGM? It’s amazing to get to be around people who are as passionate and driven as I am.
