Some of the best things that have happened to me in my life and career are because of networking and communication! I love to meet new people and get to know them through various means. I have forged some lifelong friendships too. Networking is so important when you want to collaborate with different teams. With networking and collaboration, I was able to learn a lot of new processes that were not known to be before nor they were available as part of any training. I was able to innovate outside of my design scope to be able to create a solution for us to make layouts for our experiments faster and more efficient, I was even recognized in the Technology Development group for this innovation. You don't just have to network and create relationships and maintain them in a company - you can do this in all walks of life. I met some amazing people through various volunteer opportunities, community outreach that have helped me become a better person. Micron has so many opportunities to network with people. We have Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) like Micron Young Professionals, Pride +Allies, Black Employee Network, Women's Leadership Network and so many more... There are a lot of events and clubs for various hobbies and activities too. And if you don't find some particular group, you can always start one!

Self-confidence is an important skill. It means you are able to accept and trust yourself and have a sense of control in your job. Be confident in your abilities. If you have a specific skill, you can set a strength goal to work on it in order to be a top performer. Be confident also in your capabilities. I f you do not have a specific skill, you can set a development goal to work on it in order to learn and improve anytime. You shall not be alone in your professional growth path. One of Micron value is "Collaboration". Team members work closely together. They share knowledge and experience working to reach best-in-class company results
