By doing! I like to take my time to understand things, sometimes it takes me a little longer than others to learn something new (I'm dyslexic) but once I've got the hang of things I work very confidently.
The role I usually take in a team:
I usually listen (especially if it's something I am unfamiliar with!), but I like to push myself to take the lead occasionally (especially if the rest of the team are also unsure)
My communication style:
Sometimes I find it hard to say/describe what I'm thinking, I work much better visually
What I value:
Helping others to understand so that we can all learn & progress together.
What people misunderstand about me:
Sometimes I find it hard to say what I'm thinking (or to explain things), I think this makes me look like I don't know what I'm talking about!
How I like to get my feedback:
I appreciate all feedback, I don't take negative feedback badly (it's hard to offend me!)
Technical strengths & weaknesses:
I really enjoy CSS and using my design skills in a new way. I also enjoy anything mathematical.
I'm still trying to properly understand how to use fetch!! (...and also arrow functions)
I keep needing to remind myself how to properly use git (but it's much easier this week) - I must practise more of this!
Interests (programming or otherwise!):
I started my own fashion brand a few years ago, I now do that as a hobby at the weekends. I also love walking my dog, George. He is a good boy!
