Meet Stephanie Skuzenski, senior manager at Johnson & Johnson. Her mind 🧠 works in different ways - her ability to recognize repeatable patterns, and love of efficiency propelled her from pursuing a life as an artist to a system designer in tech.
Come hear Stephanie's money and career journey from an artist, to a freelancer, to her experience in tech.
I particularly enjoyed the question - would you stay at your current role/company several years down the road❓ If not, what would you do differently today?
