"My coworkers recognize me as a very innovative developer and marketer who is always dependable in coming up with a fresh strategy. However, I never try to force my opinions on others since I understand that the client's business comes first. Rather, before making suggestions, I take the time to learn about the audience and the business. Although I can (and frequently do) work effectively alone, teamwork is how I perform best.
