1. How would you describe EAG?

EAG is home to intellectually curious and innovative industry experts, passionate about helping clients achieve their goals in this dynamic and challenging industry.

2. What has been one of your proudest moments working at EAG?

I take pride in assisting clients propel their businesses forward through the use and interpretation of data. Utilizing data is a cornerstone of our approach, and it’s a source of deep pride for us. We understand that data is not just a collection of numbers and facts; it’s the key to making well-informed decisions and achieving exceptional results.

3. What advice do you have for prospective candidates that want to join EAG?

Prospective candidates should be prepared to work hard, take chances, and soak up as much of the vast industry experience as possible from others in the company.

4. What’s one thing – either industry-related or not – you learned in the last month?

Over the course of the last few weeks, I’ve learned just how much Houston takes pride in their Astros and vice versa. This season hasn’t been as smooth as others, but the team continues to fight on and be empowered by the city and its fans.

5. What do you like to do in your free time? Any favorite places you like to visit?

Fall is the best time of the year in Houston (in my opinion), the heat and humidity starts to die down, so I try to take advantage and spend as much time as possible outdoors – running, biking, or hitting the golf course. When I’m not doing that, I enjoy watching college football, rooting for the Miami Hurricanes football team.

6. Tell us something that might surprise us about you.

Any time something breaks or needs to be fixed; I always try to handle it myself… I love a good DIY project!

7. How do you balance your career with other priorities?

I’m not always the best at balancing work with personal life, but it’s a very important aspect that I need to improve. EAG has recently rolled out compressed schedules which allows a greater work-life balance. I also try to set boundaries to prevent working on weekends and will sacrifice working long hours during the week when important deadlines need to be met.

8. Who or what inspires you and why?

My parents have always inspired me. They’ve instilled in me to be the best person you can be, help others in need, and make the most of this life.

9. What is your life motto or favorite quote?

As of recently, I’ve been particularly keen of the song “Tomorrow” by Joe Walsh – I’ve found it to be humorously true.

10. What’s your superpower?

I’d have to say my superpower is DAX. Over the course of the last year, I’ve honed my superpower through refactoring our paginated reports to utilize DAX and pull data from our existing PBI data models.
